Wickie the Mighty Viking

In a Viking village called Flake, a young boy named Wickie differs from his peers and his father, Halvar, because he relies on intelligence rather than physical strength. When a group of raiders led by Sven the Terrible kidnaps the children of the village, Wickie is the only child left behind. Despite his father's disapproval, Wickie sneaks onto a ship with a rescue party to save the captives. Through his clever plans and ingenuity, the boy helps the warriors overcome various dangers and proves that intellect can be as valuable as brute force.
