action

A doctor successfully delivers a boy. When the mother asks what it is, the newborn shows the doctor the tongue. The doctor then says, "It's an asshole" .

Twelve years later, the little asshole is making life hell for his fellow men. He disturbs his parents during sex and also explains the process to them, surprises his sister, who is naked at the moment, and tells her that he has sold her new panties to a classmate, tortures his neighbor's dog and drugs him, falls in love with her 76-year-old Inge Koschmidder and drives her to cardiac death through his constant advances. In his diary he writes that basically he just wants to make the world a better place. His grandfather, known as the “old man”, is the only one who thinks of the little asshole.

In addition, the little asshole performs several times with his band on different occasions. On World Church Day, for example, a “modern staging of Faust” is performed in the city's cathedral, country music is mocked in a trucker pub and Turkish-sounding music (which has no real content) is performed at a Nazi meeting. All appearances end with the other band members receiving a terrible thrashing, while the little asshole can always get out of the affair.

At a school event, the little asshole mixes drugs in the "woodruff punch" and thus triggers a mass orgy among the teachers and parents and uses the school as a starting point for the revolution.

At the end you see the little asshole sitting in jail because of this offense and writing in his diary.

Reviews

"Walter Moers' comic figure has lost none of its snotty anarchy in Michael Schaack's cartoon adaptation."

- Cinema 03/97

"Watered down cartoon fun that lacks the wickedness of the original books."

- TV feature film 05/1997

"Hard to believe, but true: Moers' rascal is unfortunately not half as funny in moving images as it is on paper."

- TV Today 05/1997

“The 'little asshole' was in good hands with Michael Schaack & Co., so fans should enjoy the film. The only downer: you already know most of the boy's sayings from books. "

- TV Movie 05/1997

"The cheeky film based on cartoons by Walter Moers is not for the virtuous."

- TV listening and viewing 09/1997

“The episodes are carefully drawn and put together sensibly. The satirical approach is weakened by musical interludes and some passages. "

- film service 05/1997

“... which remains true to the anarchy of the original. A politically incorrect work, the production of which would have put a flush of shame on the Walt Disney artists' faces and then onto the foils. "
