The Ogglies: In Cinemas July 2021

We are happy to announce that „The Ogglies – Welcome to Smelliville!“ will have it’s theatrical german release on July 22nd 2021.



Great news for “The Ogglies”: Following the positive funding decisions of the Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein, the Filmförderung Baden-Württemberg and the German Federal Film Board (FFA), HessenFilm and Medien and Screen Flanders has also approved subsidies for the project. We are very happy about the positive decisions!

Gruesome gunge and cheesy feet – Die Ogglies are it!

The Ogglies are finally conquering our cinema screens! The books about the green, rubbish-eating creatures have so far sold more than 5 million copies in Germany alone. There are 34 early reading and picture books, the paperback series about the Oggly detectives, the Oggly comic magazine, as well as the Oggly app.

In the oggliest adventure of all time, the Oggly family arrive at the municipal rubbish dump of Smelliville. The Ogglies are looking for a new home, but they never feel really welcome anywhere. They stink and are for most humans just a tad too oggly. When Firebottom the family dragon crash-lands on the run-down rubbish tip of the small town of Smelliville, the Oggly kids at once feel at home. And it’s here they want to stay.

Private: The Rottentodds

Twelve-year-old Polly is the odd one out – at least as far as the rest of her family is concerned. But is it her fault that she’s the only Rottentodd who doesn’t like blow-fly salad, thinks spiders and millipedes are yucky, can’t see in the dark, and won’t live for several hundred years?

The bizarre humor and quirky characters in this live-action TV series about a very special kind of family make for unique entertainment for young comedy-horror fans.

Private: The Legacy of the Magic Flute

Our animated series “The Legacy of the Magic Flute” is based on the exceptional musical tale “The Magic Flute”, by W.A. Mozart. It connects the fantasy world and colorful characters from the world-famous opera with contemporary elements and fresh story lines that will especially appeal to younger audiences.

The charming 17-year-old Tamino is attending a priest training school that is run by the high priest and ruler of the sun circle, Sarastro. Tamino is faced with a fantasy world full of challenges. He must overcome these with help from his new friends, the quick-witted Pamina, the smart Papagena and the carefree bird catcher Papageno. Challenges include solving riddles, revealing secrets and passing tests. In some encounters, the powers of the magic flute are of advantage as well. But the fantasy world is overshadowed by the power struggle between light and dark, between High Priest Sarastro, and the Queen of the Night. Tamino needs to grow up quickly to become the hero that helps restore the balance between the sun circle and the realm of darkness.
Trust, bravery, friendship, magic and the power of music are central elements to the exciting, epic and funny stories of “The Legacy of the Magic Flute.”

Let it glow – How Pauline saved Christmas

According to an age-old tradition in the Christmas World, every hundred years a new Santa Claus is chosen, while the old one retires. This time, the job goes to Ruprecht Tumb, a brilliant inventor and tech nerd, who has secretly manipulated the election. Ruprecht wants more than anything else to be Santa Claus, because he’s the most popular person in the world. At the festive welcome ceremony, the new Santa gets to know his faithful companion Beutolomäus. But the expected magic glow doesn’t occur when the two meet. For Beutolomäus, it’s clear that Ruprecht can’t be the real Santa Claus. Beutolomäus sets out in search of the actual Santa in order to save Christmas.

“Let it glow – How Pauline saved Christmas” is a completely new, horizontally structured Advent calendar TV series for the whole family. 24 episodes (15 minutes each) full of excitement, magic and imagination. The series is directed by Alex Schmidt, starring Simon Böer (Sascha Claus), Cloé Heinrich (Paule Merten), Santino Bathe (Max), Björn Harras (Ruprecht), Inez Bjørk David (Lena Merten), Mirko Lang (Martin Merten), Hark Bohm (Knorre) and Milton Welsh (carol-songwriter) as well as Anna Fischer, Ramona Krönke und Annette Strasser (elves).

Private: The Kids from Seagull Street, Season 2




Currently broadcasting: daily at 6:00pm

There’s no nicer place to live than on Seagull Street.

Tara stays in the row house settlement together with her parents and her brothers Peter and Mouse. The neighbors are all very friendly, there are lots of other children, and of course Tina, who is the same age as Tara, and also her best friend. Together, they always have wonderful ideas about how to spend their days: playing in the mud, hunting for criminals, baking pancakes, starting a gang or playing hide and seek… things are always hopping on Seagull Street.

“The Kids from Seagull Street” is the alternative of an action-packed fantasy series: Comfy, easy-going and taken from real life, the series tells child-oriented stories from everyday life, wherein the children recognize themselves.

The Ogglies


Gruesome gunge and cheesy feet – The Ogglies are the latest thing!

Yet there are still some people who have never heard of the Ogglies. Not many, but still: for all those still in the dark we’d like to present this charming, cheeky and chaotic family:

The Ogglies are as green as gherkins, with noses the size of aubergines and three hearing horns on their heads as big as bananas. The Ogglies don’t like chocolate. Or ice-cream, or sweets, or jelly, or spaghetti with tomato ketchup, or Nutella sandwiches. In fact, they don’t like anything that children like, but prefer to dine on things that are off, bitter, musty or mouldy.

The Oggly family have made their home on the municipal rubbish dump in Smelliville: two kids, Mum, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma and the baby, along with Flutchi the bat and Firebottom the dragon, who also serves as the family’s means of transport.

“You’re born a serf, you die a serf and you spend your whole life as a serf” -that’s just the way things are! But isn’t it really unfair when the knight of the castle owns the farmers in the village? That’s what Trenk the farm boy thinks anyway. Trenk wants a better life than his father who has just been hauled off to the castle for another beating by the knight’s men. And so it comes that Trenk, with his little piglet in tow, travels to town to seek his fortune. It turns out to be harder than Trenk thought, and it’s a good thing that he finds friends to help him on the way. The action takes place during the Middle Ages, in a small thirteenth-century German kingdom. Our series brings the Middle Ages to life in an exciting and humorous tale that children will easily be able to understand and enjoy.

Henrietta

Nomination for GOLDEN SPARROW competition

Henrietta has been nominated for the GOLDEN SPARROW in the category “TV series animation” with the episode “Henrietta is sick”. The German Children’s Media Festival will take place from September 20 to 26, 2020. With 206 German-language productions, there was a record entry in 2020 for the GOLDEN SPARROW competition. The prizes will be awarded on September 25, 2020 at the CineStar in Erfurt.
We are very happy about the nomination!

Henrietta is a cow. A mail cow, to be exact. But Henrietta is not only a mail cow. She’s also a cow who goes on a treasure hunt, plays hide-and-seek, pops out from hiding places and scares the daylights out of the mailman – in short a cow like no other. And she is most certainly not a “dumb cow”, even though she often has as rather roundabout way of doing things. Henrietta is horribly clumsy. Of course! A cow without hands, with only four hooves, who climbs trees, jumps on a trampoline… how could it not go wrong? Added to that is Henrietta’s childish naivety. Although she thinks a lot – yes, she thinks; we’ll get into more detail later – she doesn’t think about the possible consequences of her actions. As soon as Henrietta has an idea, she dives into a new adventure without thinking about the risks and often ends up in a bind. She’s sitting in a tree and can’t get back down, is stuck in a hole she dug herself… Henrietta behaves like a little child – like our target group – which offers enormous potential for the audience to identify with.

Trenk, the little Knight



The sovereign calls all his knights to battle against a fearsome dragon, who has laid waste whole districts and is striking terror into the hearts of the population. The sovereign promises to grant a wish to the knight, who succeeds in conquering the dragon. Trenk is hell-bent on tackling this challenge because he sees it as an opportunity of freeing his family from their servitude much sooner than he had originally hoped. And so he bravely sets off to fight the fire-breathing beast, together with his new-found friends, Thekla, the daughter of Knight Hans, Momme Mumm, a young travelling entertainer and his faithful Piggeldy. With death defying audacity, they sneak into the deep, dark cave…

Imagine if he wasn’t the fearless grown man, but a 14-year-old boy with a great sense of justice, a boy who not only convinced coarse pirates to fight for the good, but also bamboozled rapacious merchants of the Hanseatic League – even defying Queen Margaret 1st of Denmark.

Private: Jackpot

A bag filled with four million euros.
Too many people who know about it.
How far would you go to get your hands on the money?
A race against time, a matter of life and death…

Imagine that you’re almost 15 years old, your mother is dead, your alcoholic father has been missing without a trace for days, and you live with your not-much-older brother in one of the most run-down neighborhoods in the city.

It’s bloody cold, two days before Christmas and your bank account is nearly empty. You’re jogging through the woods as it gets darker and darker. Then there’s a bang. A speeding car suddenly appears out of nowhere, shoots over an embankment and crashes into a tree not far from you.

While looking for a first aid kit for the seriously wounded driver, you discover a girl, bound and injured, in the car’s trunk. Instead of showing any concern for her injuries, the girl instead asks for your address. She takes a picture of you with her mobile phone, and all the while you can hear the police sirens steadily drawing near. To top it all off, the girl urges you to run away with a huge bag full of money. You grab the bag and take off. She calls after you that she will find you.

The bag is filled with 4 million euros from a cash-in-transport. And the girl is not the only one who wants the bag back. From this moment on your life is a breathtaking race against time and a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with relentless pursuers. Who will end up with the Jackpot?

The Little Medic



On TV December 22nd 2019 on KiKA.

Twelve-year-old Nano witnesses a sinister act: evil Professor Schlotter injects Nano’s Grandpa with a Gobot, a tiny robot that makes it possible to remotely control its victim. Nano goes to their family doctor, Dr. X, for help. But incredible things are happening in Dr. X’s practice as well: together with genius scientist Micro Minitec, the doctor has developed a miniaturisation procedure with which he shrinks a submarine and sends it through the human body on a journey of medical discovery.

Nano and his friend Lilly are miniaturised and embark on the risky journey into his Grandpa’s body to defeat the Gobot. But Professor Schlotter and his henchman Serge will not surrender easily. They storm Dr. X’ practice and overpower the scientists. Now Nano and Lilly are stuck in Nano’s Grandpa’s body, left to their own devices. They have to face not just the Gobot, but also dangerous killer cells, searing stomach acid and the confusing maze of the brain. Time is of the essence because the oxygen supply in the submarine is limited. It’s a good thing that Dr. X’ submarine pilot, the talking pink rabbit Rappel, has an axe to grind with Professor Schlotter…

Groove High

3 complete broadcasts on Nickelodeon already.

“Groove High” is all about the two young rockstars Zoe and Tom. They live their dream together and have the chance to travel from town to town on their world tour. However, before Zoe and Tom could celebrate their musical success, they went to “Groove High”, a school for music and performing arts, together. While Zoe and Tom are waiting backstage until it’s show time, they reminisce about the good old times.

Besides music, friendship and first love are at the very top of the list in Groove High. But also brawl and drama play a role, because when they remember their school time and the beginning of their career, they do not always totally agree how the things really took their course.

“Groove High” cleverly combines the genres live-action and animation. Each episode initially starts with a short live-action element. In the version produced for Nickelodeon Germany, Luisa Wietzorek plays the Zoe and Robert Köhler the Tom. The reviews into their time at “Groove High” are animated.

In Pinkovia, Princess Lillifee and her friends are enjoying a beautiful summer. One night, however, the unicorn Rosalie appears to Lillifee in a dream and urgently asks for her help; she needs Lillifee to look after her baby Lucy. When Lillifee awakes, she discovers that Lucy has magically stepped out of her dream and is now sitting on her bed, fresh as a daisy. But what has happened to Rosalie?

Lillifee decides to bring Lucy back to her mother. In order to find Rosalie, she sets off with the unicorn baby and her friends to the neighboring country Bluetopia. Upon their arrival, they are shocked to discover that the land has been cast under a dreadful spell! Although it’s the middle of summer, it is frosty and cold, and everything is covered with ice and snow.

Lillifee quickly finds out who is responsible for the disaster: Steel, the winter prince of Bluetopia. Jealous of his twin brother, the summer prince, he has frozen the country in a deep winter sleep. The enchanted ice can only be melted by the unicorns’ magical powers. Steel, of course, wants to prevent this at all costs. So he has kidnapped Lucy’s parents and imprisoned them in impenetrable ice.

Lucy is now Bluetopia’s only hope. Steel has the baby unicorn searched for all over the country, and finds her with Lillifee. The fairy princess manages to flee at the last moment, but now she must act quickly. Lillifee can only free Bluetopia from the evil curse with Lucy’s help…

Still, she soon discovers that not all in her kingdom are content. With the passing ages, the Fairies of Pinkle have become worse in the misuse of their magical powers.

Being a caring Princess, this makes Lillifee very sad.

But together with all of her friends, Princess Lillifee is determined to restore the gentle harmony of her wonderful kingdom and fill it again with the joy of its glittery splendor.
