Where Did the Fairies Go, Aunt Green?

DVD film, 45 minutes

This classic film was originally released in 1997 and is still very popular in kindergartens and play parks. Entitled “Miksi keijut katosivat, Täti  Vihreä?” in Finnish, the film has been transferred from VHS to DVD and is available for purchase from the address that appears at the end of the trailer (info@ergobrass.com).

The film tells about parks, how they were created, and why fairies don’t enjoy parks that are messy. Aunt Green and some helpful children try to do something about the untidy troll.
