Pingo and Pelle want to give a surprise party for Petzi. They trick their friend into thinking it’s still pitch black and in the middle of the night. Petzi should sleep soundly on the good ship Mary as long as they need for their preparation on a party island.
At some point, however, Petzi can not sleep any longer, and misunderstandings unfold.
Kangaroo Peter has been tinkering with his car for years. Without much success. Petzi cannot believe it and promises Peter his maiden trip by the end the day. The crew immediately gets going. Only Pingo notices Peter’s secret: he is terrified of driving. Can Peter hide his fear for much longer?
The crew meets Osram, an elephant in a bathtub. Osram is laid back, funny, but terribly forgetful. He can’t remember a single thing. Not even that Pelle is a bird. Pelle wants to prove this by showing off his flying skills. Which by the way are underwhelming, to say the least. The episode can be watched online here: ZDF Mediathek
Full speed ahead, the good ship Mary ends up on top of a whale. Wallerie refuses to dive and let the crew go. “I’m an island”, the whale insists. Petzi, Pingo, Pelle and Old Salt need to find out what happened to the young whale. Can the answer be found below the surface of the ocean. This episode will air on Sunday 16th at 6:40 p.m. on German broadcaster KIKA
Having too much cake can have very surprising effects if you aren’t human. Too bad Trude’s father isn’t aware of this when he comes by to have proper teatime with way too many pastries. This Sunday at 1 p.m., German Broadcaster KIKA will premiere two new episodes of Trude’s Flatmate.
Petzi (Rasmus Klump), Pingo and pelikan Pelle are best friends. One day, they find shipwrecked Old Salt on the beach. The guys decide to help him build a new ship. But when Pingo and Pelle realize that Petzi wants set sails and join Old Salt they’re shaken. They don’t want to lose their friend. Watch Saturday’s episode on KIKA at 6:35 p.m. or afterwards online:

We are proud to present Petzi (Rasmus Klump), our latest TV series. It is based on the books by Carla an Vilhelm Hansen that we ourselves owned, read and loved when we were children. We were lucky to explore this world again and live with these characters. We had the opportunity to work with many talented people who became part of our ship crew and who conquered our hearts. It has been a journey we will never forget. We hope children will enjoy watching the show and going on adventures with Petzi and his gang.
Starting from September 15th the 26 episodes of Rasmus Klump/ Petzi will air daily at 6:35 p.m. on Germany’s KIKA. The episodes will then also be available online for a limited time.
