Olsenbanden Junior går under vann

The Olsenbanden gang was hugely popular but by 2003 most of the original cast was dead or too old to do anything more. So prequels/ reboot with child actors was the only way to go. They started with a pre-Christmas series and as it was hugely popular for the young generation it was decided to make a movie. Its success ensured that several new sequels was made and when child actors got to old they only replaced them
