A handsome prince is slated to marry the less-than-attractive Queen of Summerland. He refuses, whereupon she calls upon her skills as a sorceress. Transformed into a polar bear, the luckless prince must seek out a human to help him break the spell... (All Movie Guide)

About seven year old Margareta 'Madicken' Engström growing up in Sweden during the first world war.

Madicken never means for anything to go wrong, but somehow it gets that way. Neither this time, when her little sister got a concussion, and it's not her fault that she puts a pea up her own nose. (imdb)

Based on Astrid Lindgren's books. Madicken's life on Junibacken is filled with ups and down. (imdb)
