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

PETZI ABOUT TO ENTER THE SEA

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.

Check our blog to get more details in the upcoming weeks and see some more pre-production artwork.
