Dala horse features in "Kitchen Stories" movie

Maybe someone would like to add a popular culture section? I don't want to give away too much of the movie's plot, and I preferred the "Art of Negative Thinking" and "Elling", but still... (ChocoCereal (talk) 05:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

General Reference

A general reference for the early production of dala horses can be found at www.dalahorse.info. The pages are in Swedish though, but google translate makes most of it intelligible. Since I am not sure what the policy is on references in another language I refrained from adding it. Feel free to add it if such references are ok.

Variants?

Are photos of variants appropriate? There is a Dala Horse in front of the Scandia, MN fire department, painted like a Dalmatian (a common fire dept mascot). Not certain that it's entirely relevant to the culture, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.153.247.93 (talk) 05:09, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dalecarlian horse → Dala horse – Per WP:COMMONNAME. According to an Ngram search, Dala horse is more common by a wide margin (6-10 times more common). Also, the article for the landskap is named Dalarna, not Dalecarlia, and the proposed title would be consistent with that. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 11:28, 5 October 2024 (UTC) }[reply]
