Johanna's Car is a car owned by the character Johanna. It served as a replacement for her first car that got destroyed by Trundle's brother in the movie.
Unlike her first car, this second car does not appear in the graphic novels but is exclusive to the animated series and Hilda Tie-In Series.
History[]
After spending the majority of Season 3 without a car, Johanna eventually bought this second car in "Chapter 6: The Forgotten Lake".
This car is a second hand model and according to Johanna it wasn't too expensive. However, this car is not the most reliable and tends to break down easily. Johanna and Hilda find this out the hard way when they take their new car for a camping trip, and it breaks down on the side of the road. Johanna is able to fix the car thanks to the car repair skills she learned in her Sparrow Scouts days, but it takes her so long she and Hilda never reach the intended camping ground and camp at the spot the car stopped. This leads to their encounter with the Spider Frog, which was trapped in a lake nearby.
In "Chapter 8: The Fairy Isle", the car again breaks down when Johanna is in a rush to get to Tofoten. Not wanting to waste time with trying to fix it, Johanna therefore leaves the car behind and continues towards Tofoten on foot. It is unknown what became of the car afterwards.

Trivia[]
- Hilda actually liked this car because of it's glitchy, unpredictable nature. Johanna reminded her that unpredictability is usually not something people look for in a car.
- This version of the car also appears in the tie-in book "Hilda and the Laughing Merman". Here, Johanna first shows up in the car when she comes to pick up Hilda from Sparrow Scout camp, but the car breaks down on their way home, forcing mother and daughter to camp for the night in the wilderness. This leads to their encounter with the Spider Frog.
