When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town	comment	When the Robbers Came to Cardamom Town is a 1955 Norwegian children's book written and illustrated by ThorbjÃ¸rn Egner. It tells the story of the peaceful town of Cardamom and the people who live there. Outside the town three robbers, Casper, Jasper and Jonathan (Kasper, Jesper and Jonatan in the original Norwegian) live with their tame lion. They regularly come to town at night to steal the things they need, but despite repeated demands that they have to be arrested, police chief Constable Bastian isn't very keen on arresting people who have a dangerous lion as a pet.The book is considered one of the most important works in Norwegian children's literature, and has also seen several adaptations over the years. The story started out as a radio play in 1955, but was quickly published as a book, and 1956 saw the stage musical adaptation which was a tremendous success and is still regularly played in Norwegian theatres. to this day. The story has also been adapted for film twice — one live-action movie 1988, and one stop-motion animated movie in 2022.In addition, in 1991 the town itself was recreated as a theme park within Kristiansand Zoo, meticulously based on ThorbjÃ¸rn Egner's illustrations.

When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town / int_1ccad9a3	comment	Villain Song: â€œThe robbers' songâ€� is about going into town and stealing. The robbers actually sing three versions of this song — the "default" version, where they mainly sing about stealing food; the "kidnapping Sophie" version, where they sing about all the things they want Sophie to do for them... and the "finally rid of Sophie" version, where they sing about how happy they are to be rid of her.

When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town / int_1f14978d	comment	Talking Animal: The talking camel, and the parrot from America, though neither of them get much dialogue outside their signature songs. The book also kind of implies that the camel isn't actually talking and that it's just a ventriloquism act for the show, but pretty much all the adaptations drop this implication and makes it clear the camel is talking. The parrot, by contrast, definitely has a Polly Wants a Microphone thing going on.

When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town / int_34889673	comment	Gender Flip: The town baker is a man in the original book and radio play, but in later editions of the stage musical the baker is often depicted as a woman (and it's more than implied that there's a budding romance between her and Jonathan). The animated movie follows suit, and also gives her a bit of a Race Lift, presenting her as Ambiguously Brown.

Why he's carrying a sack filled with baked goods? Well.. he happened to collide with a shelf in the dark, and all the baked goods on that shelf just happened to fall right into his sack. Honest!

Remo is also the one who finds out when Tobias's birthday is and tells the townspeople so they can have a town-wide celebration. Tobias on the whole actually seems to be somewhat of a Friend to All Children; he also has a good report with the other young boy, Tommy, who comes to him for advice, and with Little Kamomilla.

The robbers merely needed a chance to change their lives around and Aunt Sophie... is extremely law-abiding and has moments where she can be almost nice.

While the book all but states they end up married after the events of the story, the text itself never implies anything romantic between them. In the movie, Casper is smitten with her the when he first sees her from afar, which gives an entirely new context to his suggestion that the robbers should kidnap her... as well to several of their interactions afterwards.

After being arrested, the robbers are treated with kindness throughout, they're given good food and comfortable beds to sleep in, and Constable Bastian and his wife encourage them rather than threaten and punish them. They respond positively to the treatment (and even admit that it's nice to have other people to talk to other than just themselves all the time) and it doesn't take too long for them to change their ways.

It clearly views the robbers as its pride and generally gets along with them... though it can get grouchy if they annoy it too much, or it's hungry, or it suspects they're trying to steal its favorite sleeping spot. It's especially clear in the animated movie, where the lion sometimes happily joins in on the robbers' antics (like doing morning exercises with Jasper) and sometimes growls and takes annoyed swipes at them.

When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town / int_c5249b29	comment	Nice Guy: Constable Bastian is the kindest, friendliest policeman ever. He's not a good or effective policeman, partly because he's a bit of a Lovable Coward and partly because he's just too nice for his job. He never wants to enforce the law and would rather just walk around the town, chatting amicably with everyone he meets, arrange parties and celebrations, and maybe help out with small problems that generally has nothing to do with enforcing the law at all. In any other town than Cardamom he'd probably be a complete joke as a policeman, but since this town mostly has friendly and law-abiding citizens he manages very well, and is one of the most popular and well-liked people in town. He plays absolutely no role in the arrestation of the robbers, but it's his kindness towards them while they're in prison that really kicks off their Heelâ€“Face Turn.

At the climax of the story, they also don't hesitate at all to enter a burning house in order to save Tobias's pets.

When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town / int_fbb310ed	comment	Job Song: â€œThe barber songâ€� is partly this and partly about how the barber would really rather just play the clarinet.

When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: A very common joke in the adaptations is that when the robbers have been captured and are informed they're going down to the police station, one of them (usually Casper, sometimes Jonathan) will ask if there's anything to steal there.

When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Early in the story, Jasper eagerly suggests that the robbers steal the Talking Camel and use it as a riding animal for their nightly town visits, but is quickly shut down when Casper points out a few flaws in this plan, like how difficult it would be to handle a camel ("How are we even supposed to get it through doors?"). In the book that's where it ends — but in the animated movie, when the robbers are surprised and arrested in the sausage-maker's shop, Jasper manages to escape through the door. He sees the Talking Camel stand in the street nearby, sees his chance at finally getting to steal the camel like he wanted, jumps up on its back and tells it to "giddiyap!" ...and the camel just gives him a deadpan look and remains perfectly still, refusing to go anywhere with him. He ends up getting arrested along with the others.
