Kinderfilme

With so many current short film productions, one quickly realizes that there are films a dime a dozen. But for adults, the question quickly arises

So that you don’t have to rack your brains over this, we ve put together our favorites from the last two years together with our youngest viewers in a program that can entertain young and old alike.
Big and small alike can entertain.
