After years of anticipation, Little Ghost Laban, created by writer Inger and illustrator Lasse Sandberg, is returning to cinemas in a brand-new animated film premiering in October this year. The film is produced by Art & Bob and distributed by SF Studios.

Inger and Lasse Sandberg’s books about Lilla Spöket Laban have been published in 33 languages ââand is one of Sweden’s most famous children’s book characters. Laban was given new life in the early 2000s when Per Åhlin directed four animated feature films about the character, films that are still playing in cinemas around Sweden today.
The new Little Ghost Laban film is directed by Lasse Persson with a script written by Jan Vierth, Anders Sparring and Lena Ollmark. The film is produced by Art & Bob in co-production with SF Studios, Slugger Film and Film i Skåne. SF Studios distributes the film in the Nordics.
“Now it’s finally time for Little Ghost Laban to return to the big screen – in a brand new film. Together with his friends, we get to accompany Laban on exciting adventures in Gomorronsol Castle. This will be a highlight for the whole family, and we really hope that you will be enchanted by our new film about the world’s kindest ghost!”, says Elsa Fröslin, producer, Art & Bob.
“Little Ghost Laban has been entertaining young and old children as well as adults since the sun went down over the castle Gomorronsol. The update has been done with a tender hand and we are proud to be able to offer the audience this long-awaited ghost story with a new twinkle in the eye…, says Yaba Holst, Head of Nordic Acquisition, SF Studios.
The Little Ghost Laban film will premiere in October 2024.
