Captain Sabertooth, a fictional pirate from a series of popular Norwegian theatre plays for children

Captain Sabertooth (in Norwegian Kaptein Sabeltann) is the name of a long running series that centers around the eponymous pirate Captain Sabertooth, who was created and was originally portrayed by the Norwegian singer, composer, author and actor Terje Formoe.[1][2] The series comprises several stage plays, theatrical films, a television series,[3] cartoons, and books, all of which are aimed at small children.[4][5]

The series was first launched as a series of stage plays. The first play, Captain Sabertooth and the Treasure in Luna Bay, was first performed in Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park in Norway where Formoe was Director of Entertainment.[6] The play's success was so great that in 1994 it was followed up with another stage play, Captain Sabertooth and the Secret of Luna Bay, the music of which won Formoe a Spellemann prize,[6] also called "the Norwegian Grammy Awards".[7] The plays have since been followed up with several theatrical films, which have proven to be very popular in Norway.[8]

In 2014 the film Captain Sabertooth and the Treasure of Lama Rama was released. Its cost was 50 million Norwegian kroner (roughly USD 6,600,000 or EUR 7,800,000 as of May 2015), making it the most expensive children's film to date in Norwegian history.[9]

Premise

Captain Sabertooth performance with Terje Formoe in 2010

Captain Sabertooth is head of a band of pirates, who are sailing together in their ship called The Dark Lady (Den Sorte Dame). Among the other pirates are Pirate Wally (Pelle Pirat) a fat and somewhat clumsy man, and Tiny (Pinky), a young guy fighting for recognition from the other pirates.

Other characters are Red Rudy (Røde Ruben), a former sailor who lives together with Aunt Bessie (Tante Bassa) in Luna Bay (Kjuttavika). He wants to be an honest and peaceful man, but is maniacally interested in gold and jewels, an interest he shares with the pirates. He and Bessie work in a tavern together with her niece Veronica (Sunniva). Veronica and Tiny become friends.

Captain Sabertooth's World

The gates to Captain Sabertooth's World

In 1995 a Captain Sabertooth themed section of the Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park was opened.[14] The area has a pirate village theme and contains various attractions, restaurants, and shops that are centered around the character of Captain Sabertooth and the other characters in the series. In the summer the park holds several shows and features, including one that allows guests to ride on Sabertooth's ships The Black Lady and The Countess.
