Question 1

How was Meg of June Hill edited from the Madicken TV series?

Accepted Answer

It's edited from the first season of the Madicken (1979) TV series but only about half as long. Two episodes were completely cut: one about Mrs. Nilsson's body donation and a Christmas episode. A narrator was added: Astrid Lindgren herself.

Question 2

Why does Meg of June Hill have an earlier setting than You're Out of Your Mind, Maggie despite being released later?

Accepted Answer

Because this film is edited from the previously released first season of the Madicken (1979) TV series, so the stories are set before those in You're Out of Your Mind, Maggie (1979).

Göran Graffman directed. He was chosen because producer Olle Hellbom was impressed with his work on the TV series The White Stone (1973) after Hellbom stepped down due to fatigue from directing The Brothers Lionheart (1977).
