Bibi Blocksberg is a German children's film from 2002. Like Bibi Blocksberg and the secret of the blue owls, it is based on the characters of the children's radio play series Bibi Blocksberg .
action
The young witch Bibi Blocksberg is said to be awarded the witch's ball by the witch council due to her special merits in saving two children from death in flames, an award that normally only older witches receive. Bibi and her mother Barbara Blocksberg are of course very proud. Her father Bernhard Blocksberg, on the other hand, is rather critical of the whole thing, as he is viewed crookedly at work because he has two witches in his family.
Nevertheless, the two witches do not let the joy of the award ceremony be spoiled on the Blocksberg . The wicked witch Rabia, however, envies Bibi's success. In her opinion, such a young witch should not yet have the honor of being awarded the witch ball and deliberately drops Bibi's ball. This comes out, however, and Rabia has to give her witch ball to Bibi instead. In Rabia's witch ball, however, is the formula for a stolen magic potion that promises eternal youth, and without the formula Rabia cannot prepare the magic potion.
Rabia then swears revenge on the Blocksberg family. First of all, she ensures that Bernhard Blocksberg almost loses his job. So he asks his wife and daughter to renounce witchcraft. They finally agree to what Rabia's plan was: when Bibi is no longer a witch, the witch ball automatically returns to their possession.
What Rabia had forgotten, however, was that the spheres are dissolved in lava by the witchcraft abjorators. She only finds out when Barbara's ball, broom and witch book are destroyed. Then Barbara, now as a normal person, is conjured up to her husband. Bibi, who had previously been locked in the toilet by Rabia and had missed the ceremony for Barbara, decides not to give up and rushes off on her broom.
Rabia then captures Bibi's parents in order to extort the bullet from Bibi, but is stopped in time by the other witches. The witches' council bans the recipe for the youth elixir on parchment, then destroys the ball and gives Barbara her strength back. Bibi and Barbara get new balls that had previously belonged to a well-known mother-daughter couple.
Rabia is banished to a moor for five years as punishment for stealing the youth magic and for the deeds on the Blocksbergs.
Reviews
“Eventful and turbulent film adaptation of the successful children's book and radio play classic, which entertains its target group solidly. Nevertheless, the familiar program is reeled off with all too great a routine, whereby the film above all does not understand how to animate the positively charged characters with life. "
