by Petra Albersmann
As always, the shepherd counts his sheep on the way home and realises with horror that Luise is missing. Brunno the dog and Agathe the dog agree that it's Luise's own fault.
Why does she always have to dream and dawdle? Despite their protests, the shepherd sets off in search of Luise, but he has to hurry because the wolves have also picked up Luise's trail.

Her real name is Pippilotta Victualia Rollgardina Pfefferminz Efraimstochter Langstrumpf, but her friends call her Pippi. Together with her horse and her monkey Mr Nilsson, she has moved into Villa Kunterbunt, much to the delight of the neighbouring children Annika and Thomas.
Pippi is very strong, naughty and can lie like a pro. Her mother died when she was little and her father is lost on the high seas. But Pippi firmly believes that her dad will come and take her on an adventure.

from Hille Pupille
The hens Gertrud, Linda, Juanita, Heather, the twins Babsi and Susi and the cockerel Serge can't go to sleep. Outside, the farmers are cleaning the whole farmyard, singing Christmas carols and decorating the yard. The glow of the fairy lights shines right into the last corner of the barn and Babsi and Linda sing along to the Christmas carols.
Without further ado, the hens decide to celebrate Christmas themselves, decorate the coop, make presents and look after the newly hatched chicks. When everything is ready, there is a sudden knock at the door. A whole woman, freezing and shivering, stands in front of the door and asks for shelter. "Such an impertinence". You don't knock on the door at Christmas, do you? The chickens solve this problem in a wonderfully humane way.

from the Lille Kartofler Theatre
The old man dejectedly holds his resignation in his hand, the puppet theatre no longer needs him, he is too old and too stiff. To say goodbye, he hits the prop bags once more, but suddenly the donkey, the cat, the dog and the rooster appear.
They persuade the old man to perform the Bremen Town Musicians once again. He gathers all the props and the theatre can begin. The donkey can no longer drag and is chased away, the dog is too old and too weak to hunt. The cat is chased away because it can no longer catch mice and the rooster is to be slaughtered. The animals meet and decide to move to Bremen together to play town music.

On a freighter from Africa, a mouse and his mum live in the smallest piece of luggage. In a large wooden box sits the lion, who with his roar has power over a group of African animals that have also travelled by ship.
But the little mouse is not so easily intimidated because she wants to discover the world. She steps in front of the lion and offers him her help if the lion should ever get into trouble.
