Welcome to the definitive hand-drawn animated retelling of the KALEVALA – Finland’s national epic, brought to life in the style of Cartoon Saloon (Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea) and Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s legendary paintings.

Every week we release new episodes following the runes exactly as Elias Lönnrot compiled them: the creation of the world, Väinämöinen’s birth, the forging of the Sampo, Lemminkäinen’s adventures, Kullervo’s tragedy, and the final farewell of the old gods.

✦ 100 % faithful to the original 1849 Kalevala
✦ Fully hand-drawn 2D animation
✦ Authentic Finnish runolaulu-inspired narration

Whether you’re discovering the Kalevala for the first time or you grew up with the runes, this is the most beautiful and accurate animated adaptation ever made.

Subscribe and ring the bell – the old gods are waiting to tell their story again.
