Terkel in Trouble (Danish: Terkel i knibe) is a 2004 Danish adult animated musical comedy film starring Anders Matthesen. It is the first Danish computer animated feature film.[4] The film is an adaptation of Matthesen's 2001 comedy album Arne fortæller... Terkel i knibe. Anders Matthesen voices almost all characters in the film. Terkel in Trouble was well received,[5] and was a financial success, earning 17.9 million DKK on a 10 million DKK budget and becoming the seventh highest grossing film in Denmark in 2004.[3] It received multiple accolades, including the Audience Award at the 22nd Robert Awards.[6] Terkel in Trouble has been dubbed into multiple languages, including Norwegian, Swedish, German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian. An English dub of the film produced by Anvil Studios was released by Eureka Entertainment in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2006.

On 3 February 2017, the film was released in the United States by distribution company Indican Pictures as The Trouble with Terkel, featuring an American cast. This version of the film received negative reviews.[7][8][9]

In 2019, a Danish stage show adaptation of the film premiered, called Terkel – The Motherfårking Musical. Anders Matthesen and director Thorbjørn Christoffersen would later collaborate on Checkered Ninja, a film featuring some of the characters from Terkel in Trouble.
