ROBOTIER

Little Marvin from Trude’s neighbourhood has been saving forever for a remote-controlled car that transforms into a battle robot. But just as he’s about to buy it, a rich kid snatches the last RoboRacer right from under his nose! Outraged, Tier takes matters into its own paws—by becoming the RoboTier itself. But can it put on a performance good enough to convince the other kid?

The episode “Robotier” airs on March, 30th 2025 as part of “Sendung mit der Maus” on das Erste and Ki.Ka. You can also watch it online.

DRAGONS & ELEVATORS

This weekend, Tier is furious with Trude for sending him into the cave of a fearsome dragon. He’s very reluctant to forgive her, even though Trude explains that he simply dreamt about it, and it didn’t actually happen. Eventually, they decide that Tier’s dragon nightmares can only be stopped by confronting the source of his fears. So they set off on a daring adventure to the basement, where they hear growling and hissing from what must be the lair of a real dragon. Will they bravely open the door and confront what lurks in the dark?

In the second episode, the tables are turned as Trude confesses one of her own embarrassing weaknesses and finds that she too must face her own fear.

Two brand-new episodes of Trude’s Flatmate premiere on Sunday, 10th November, on KiKa at 17:30. You can also catch these episodes and last week’s episode, Hallo Suse, on the KiKa webpage.

SPECIAL MENTION

The International Animation Festival in Stuttgart (ITFS) has ended after a week of films, talks, meetings and celebrations. The children’s program featured an episode of “Trude’s Flatmate” in which Trude and her monster-flatmate befriend a pig and then attempt to rescue it from being turned into a sausage. We feel very honoured that the episode received a special mention from the jury at the award ceremony.

SUMMER HOLIDAY

This Sunday, Tier wants to win a trip to a tropical island. But just getting the right answer to the quiz does not guarantee him his dream trip. Maybe there is a different way to relax on an island? And maybe it doesn’t even require getting on a plane.
