Lilla Jönssonligan (English: The Little Jönsson gang) is a Swedish film series that consists of four films. The film series is a spin-off of the original Jönssonligan film series, featuring the main characters as kids instead of adults. Unlike the "adult Jönssonligan", where the gang were bumbling anti-heroes, the "litte Jönssonligan" is often straight up heroic.

Characters

edit

The gang consists of the criminal genius Charles Ingvar "Sickan" Jönsson, hence the name Jönssonligan, and his two companions Harry (aka Dynamit-Harry) and Ragnar Vanheden.

The gang's arch-enemy is Morgan "Junior" Wall-Enberg and his henchman, Biffen. Loa Falkman plays Wall-Enberg "Senior" in all the films. Junior does not appear in the fourth film.
