reception
“It's funniest this time too when the differences in size are played out with carefree slapstick and the hierarchies are turned upside down. When the dwarfed parents also mentally regress into crappy children, when dad has a pissing mishap and mum stumbles headlong into her face cream, the children's audience is audibly amused. When improvising miniature objects, such as sneakers as beds and toothbrush cups as bathtubs, the loving equipment comes into play. Despite all the bumps, this German Gulliver variant offers acceptable family entertainment. "
“The actor's highlight [...] is the appearance of Andrea Sawatzki as the director risen from the dead: Sawatzki puts on an award-worthy, both terrifying and hilarious performance. One would like to see a little more of Otto Waalkes, however, who is allowed to appear here as a speaking bust or as an oil painting. In any case, the film does not make sufficient use of the comedic potential of the stupid legend. "
