The Journey to Melonia (Swedish: Resan till Melonia) is a 1989 Swedish-Norwegian animated fantasy adventure film directed by Per Åhlin, very loosely based on William Shakespeare's The Tempest. It was Per Åhlin's first fully animated feature film, since his earlier films Out of an Old Man's Head and Dunderklumpen! had both used a mix of animation and live action. The full English title is The Journey to Melonia: Fantasies of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'.
It won two Guldbagge Awards for Best Creative Achievement (a category with three awards for technical achievements without their own categories). The first was to Åhlin for the animation and the second to Björn Isfält for the music.

Famous quotes containing the word journey:
“So every journey that I make
Leads me, as in the story he was led,
To some new ambush, to some fresh mistake:
So every journey I begin foretells
A weariness of daybreak, spread
With carrion kisses, carrion farewells.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
