READY FOR ADVENT MISCHIEF? PUMUCKL RETURNS!

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!

STAYIN' AWAKE

Just in time for the travel season in Germany, our latest short film premieres this Sunday on Ki.Ka and das Erste, as part of Sendung mit der Maus:
It’s the middle of the night, pitch black outside, and Jaro, a young boy and his family are on a long car ride to the seaside. To pass the time, he makes a bet with his father to not fall asleep. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Because nothing tests your willpower quite like sheep grazing by the roadside who are practically begging to be counted. And that’s when things start to get… odd.
Suddenly, there’s a trucker belting out tunes in the passenger seat. Dad’s riding a sheep like a cowboy. The baby’s behind the wheel. -Steering the car up into the sky above Italy’s countryside.
Jaro starts to question what’s real, and whether the promised ice cream reward is really worth all the trouble.

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:
