Der kleine Muck

Dec 1 1944 N/A 1h 20m
Family, Fantasy

Princess Mareile and her brother have been kidnapped. Guided by Mr. Moon, Little Muck uncovers the plot of a witch, steals her miraculous running shoes and frees the captive children from the lair of the evil giant Bumbo.

Plot

This children's film is a little surprise from the Nazi period (1944). Though certainly not a good film, the adaptation of the fairy tale is fine (good story telling), the cast is charming (note Gustav Waldau as Mister Moon), pacing is good and there are some nice special effects and sets; I especially like the moon designed as a cottage with garden). This film makes one curious to an unknown aspect of the German cinema during the Nazi period: films aimed at children only.
