action

Seven-year-old Willi Wiberg wants a dog for his birthday. However, his father is against it because Willi is still far too young to keep a dog. So Willi turns to a magician and hopes that he can fulfill his wish.

criticism

On the occasion of the German cinema premiere, the Frankfurter Rundschau wrote that the film “offers little viewing value, but perhaps its simplicity is particularly appealing to very young children for whom ' Paddington ' would still be too wild.” “What in simple dot-and-dash drawings tapping across the screen, certainly fulfills the idea of ​​a film for preschool children, as professionally trained educators have devised, ”said the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger . The film is more of a "coloring book in moving images" that would have been better on television than in the cinema.
