Journey to the Christmas Star, directed by Nils Gaup and released in 2012, is a Norwegian fantasy film adapted from a classic Norwegian play by Sverre Brandt. The film stars Vilde Zeiner as Princess Goldenhair, Anders Baasmo as the Blacksmith, and Agnes Kittelsen as the evil Queen, who is determined to ruin Christmas. At the start of the movie, we are introduced to Princess Goldenhair, who has been on a journey to find the Christmas Star for the past three years. The Christmas Star is a magical star that only appears once every 1000 years and has the power to grant wishes. Princess Goldenhair's father, the king, had promised that whoever found the star could marry his daughter and become the future king.
The Queen, who is the king's sister, is intent on ruling the kingdom herself and devises a plan to prevent Princess Goldenhair from finding the Christmas Star. She enlists the help of the evil Krampus, a mythical creature that resembles a demon, to kidnap the princess and prevent her from reaching the star.
The Blacksmith, who is in love with Princess Goldenhair, sets out to rescue her with the help of a group of misfit children, who had been helping the princess on her journey. Together, they embark on a dangerous adventure through snow-covered forests and treacherous mountains, facing challenges and obstacles along the way.
One of the challenges they face is a group of giant trolls, who demand to be paid a toll for crossing a bridge. The Blacksmith does not have any money, so he challenges the trolls to a game of "Catch the Troll," where if he wins, they let them pass. The game is a success, and the group continues on their journey.
Another obstacle they encounter is a frozen lake guarded by a ferocious ice dragon. The children devise a plan to distract the dragon with fireworks while the Blacksmith digs a tunnel under the ice. The plan works, and they all make it across the lake safely.
Finally, they reach the location of the Christmas Star, but the Queen and Krampus are waiting for them. The Blacksmith and the Queen engage in a sword fight, while the children sneak up on Krampus and steal the enchanted horn that he uses to control his powers. With Krampus powerless, the group is able to defeat the Queen and retrieve the Christmas Star.
The movie ends with the group returning to the kingdom, where the King is overjoyed to see his daughter alive and well. The Blacksmith presents the Christmas Star to the King, who tells him that he is the rightful heir to the throne and that he can now marry Princess Goldenhair.
