IMDb

Christiane Bosch from the Mainzer Allgemeine Zeitung writes about the film: “'Benjamin Blümchen' by director Tim Trachte has everything a beautiful children's film needs. A small but nice (adventure) story. An unexcited yet exciting way of narrating, loving backdrops, a few jokes to giggle and snort and an unobtrusive yet clear message. ”Ralf Krämer from the Berliner Morgenpost, on the other hand, criticizes the fact that the story“ sometimes comes across as rather bumpy ”and also“ for some it is easy to file Platitudes tend ”.

Trivia

No, the dwarf is Otto and the mountain is an elephant, he is friendly and can speak and is known everywhere and likes to lie in the sun, bees buzzing around him.
