In the early 1970s, Czechoslovakian-born filmmaker Vera Neubauer made six short animated films for the children’s television series “Das feuerrote Spielmobil/The fire read playmobile”. Five episodes about best friends Pip and Bessie have been rediscovered, restored and are now being shown on the big screen. The later Woolly films feature the character Annie and her world, all crafted with knitting needles. A short film programme without dialogues, suitable for children from 6 years, but capable of fascinating all ages.

Without words but with clear messages, the programme convinces with its variety of topics – be it family or friendship. Exciting and instructive, it is ideal for a teaching unit and is also easy to understand for viewers with little or no knowledge of the German language.
