The film, co-written by Lohikoski and Reino Helismaa, marks the first time the character Pätkä appears in the film's title. However, according to Lohikoski, Helismaa had no involvement in this or some other ''Pekka ja Pätkä'' films. The film was shot in Kilpisjärvi. Cast members have stated that the idea of the Yeti came from a newspaper article.

Lapland (Finland)
Lapland is the largest and northernmost region of Finland. The 21 municipalities in the region cooperate in a Regional Council. Lapland borders the Finnish region of North Ostrobothnia in the south. It also borders the Gulf of Bothnia, Norrbotten County in Sweden, Finnmark County and Troms County in Norway, and Murmansk Oblast and the Republic of Karelia in Russia. The topography of Lapland varies from vast mires and forests in the south to fells in the north. The Arctic Circle crosses Lapland, so polar phenomena such as the midnight sun and polar night can be viewed in this region. Lapland's cold and wintry climate, coupled with its relative abundance of conifer trees such as pines and spruces, means that it has become associated with Christmas in some countries, most notably the United Kingdom, and holidays to Lapland are common towards the end of the year. However, the Lapland region has developed its infrastructure for year-round tourism. For example, in 2019, tour ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
