Voyage to Melonia (Swedish: Resan till Melonia; full English title: Voyage to Melonia: A fantasy loosely based on Shakespeare's 'The Tempest') is a 1989 Swedish-Norwegian animated adventure fantasy film directed by Per Åhlin, loosely based on William Shakespeare's The Tempest, with further inspiration from Jules Verne's Propeller Island and Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. It was Åhlin's first fully animated feature film, as his earlier films Out of an Old Man's Head and Dunderklumpen! had both used a mix of animation and live action.
The film won two Guldbagge Awards for Best Creative Achievement (a category with three awards for technical achievements without their own categories); the first to Åhlin for the animation, the second to Björn Isfält for the score.
