We at studio soi are wishing everyone a wonderfully joyous and cosy Christmas, filled with Pumuckl’s cheeky charm.
The new episodes are being aired on rtl and orf on the 25th and 26th of December from 4:45 pm
Get ready for some festive fun and a lot of Pumuckl mischief!
Following the warmly received Pumuckl TV series, the little “kobold” has now hit the big screen! Pumuckl and the Great Misunderstanding jumped straight to the top of the German box office after its release in late October 2025. As the Deutsche Presse Agentur enthused: “The film offers not just a good hundred minutes of delightful entertainment… Pumuckl’s boundless zest for life reminds us to laugh, have fun and enjoy ourselves, even in the middle of everyday life – if only with a big bowl of chocolate ‘puddeling’.”
Here at Studio Soi we’ve also been busy working on the second season of the TV show which will be released just in time for the festive season and is available to stream from December 4th on RTL+. The perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit in true Bavarian style!
On December 26th Pumuckl is premiering on German free TV with six episodes, on RTL, beginning at 15:45. Another six episodes will be aired on the following day at the same time! More about Pumuckl on our webpage
Exciting news for fans of Pumuckl, the little trouble-maker who has been so popular with German-speaking audiences for decades. So far, only festival-goers have had a chance to see him running riot in a fresh relaunch. However, this Autumn, he is unleashed on a wider audience as the new series comes to the big screen! Three anarchic episodes will be released in German cinemas from October 26th.
Produced by Neue Super and animated by studio soi, the new Pumuckl is set for a release of all 13 episodes on RTL+ later this year. For a sneak peek of Pumuckl in action, head over to the teaser on youtube.

Recently we’ve had the pleasure of working with Pumuckl, the childhood hero of Soi veterans, Micha and Mathias, as well as many other German kids who loved watching him back in the 80s. We were the lucky studio chosen to animate our hero and integrate him into the live action scenes in compositing. With a team of 30 artists, we worked on all 13 episodes of the newly rebooted show. Three episodes will be shown to an audience for the first time at the Filmfest München. Tickets are already sold out for the screening, but you’ll be able to watch all the episodes on streaming service RTL+ this autumn. We’ll give you a shout about the release date on our blog and social media nearer the time!
