  • Latibær for sale

    Latibær for sale

    Magnús Scheving has been playing for Icelandic children for decades. He has created his own world, Latibær, which he is in the process of selling to American corporations. He says that Latibær could become Disney Iceland.

    Magnús Scheving is a wonderful man. I really do not know where to start describing him because Magnús is so much. He is a carpenter, aerobics master, writer, CEO, radio director, teacher, leader, actor, salesman and ‘entrepreneur’ which is an extremely cool...

  • Stefán Karl Stefánsson To be yourself

    Stefán Karl Stefánsson To be yourself

    The National Theater is dark and gloomy with the characteristics of Icelandic mountains, so it is not surprising when Stefán Karl Stefansson says as he grabs the handle on a door at the back of the house: “I always feel like I am disappearing into a boulder when I enter to the National Theater.” He opens the door and we walk into the rock. Let’s leave everyday life outside and go into the elf hall that Guðjón Samúelsson, the master of the house, created around the play. This strange phenomenon...

    In memory of Stefan Karl on his birthday, July 10

    written by Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir
    Kvennabladid, 10 Jul 2020 (Google translated) Today, my dear Stefán Karl would have turned 45 years old. For that reason, we bake a "Betty ****er" chocolate cake, which I can not do as well as he does, despite following the bulletproof instructions on the package. All about it, it will be baked and we will get a slice and drink cold milk with it. It's been almost two years since he died, but not a day when I don't think about him, more often t...

    January 27, 2020

    Musical experiments have a 38-year history, and the first experiments were held in Tonabær in 1982. That year's music experiments took place in Harpa's Northern Lights Hall from March 21 to 24 and the final evening took place on March 28. Music Experiments was a great springboard for young and promising musicians, but the competition has shot many bands into the starry sky, such as Of Monsters and Men, The Dolls, Greifen, Ag...

  • LazyTown will always live on in me
    by LazyPooky
    Magnus Scheving sees great opportunities in Turner’s purchase of LazyTown. Finally, the company has access to both television and product distribution. LazyTown was a power plug that was looking for electricity and found an entire power plant in Turner. Magnús says he is satisfied with the direction LazyTown is taking, the brand is gradually becoming able to stand on its own two feet after being closely associated with him. “LazyTown will exist without me and will outlive me.”

  • Invisible special effects in LazyTown
    by LazyPooky
    LazyTown’s film world is complex and when the dynamic film fails, Balcells and his colleagues take over. Their role ranges from bringing in the smallest details that are difficult to film to creating full-length videos in 3D. Balcells allows me to look over the shoulder of several employees where really amazing things are happening. “Actually, the technical term ‘technological effects’ does not adequately reflect what we do. If the viewer realizes where technology replaces the film, we have...
