What happens

Hoppa högst (English: Jump the highest) is a 30-minute-long Swedish children's film. The first screening of Hoppa högst at a theater was in Sergels torg, Stockholm on 23 March 1989. The script was written by Swedish children's literature writer Astrid Lindgren, and is based on a short story from the book Kajsa Kavat, also written by Lindgren. The film was directed by Johanna Hald, who would later direct the film adaption of Lindgren's book Lotta på Bråkmakargatan. Waldemar Berghendal produced Hoppa högst and Björn Isfält directed the music. Since its original airing on Sveriges Television, the film has been rerun several times. The film's production company, AB Svensk Filmindustri, also served as the distributor. It was distributed in Norway as Hvem kan hoppe høyest (English: Who can jump the highest).
