Willkommen in Siegheilkirchen

Animation against racism - is that an easy feat to achieve? I would argue that it is not. I also have no idea who Deitz is - actually was. He seemed to have his heart in the right place though and does not condone racist behaviour as someone in the cinema I watched this said or thought. The movie shows us despicable behaviour, but it never condones it - quite the opposite, it makes it clear that it is wrong to do or think that way.

That all being said, there is also a sexual element to the movie. And some drawn nudity (no pun intended). Nothing major - and if you want to be offended you'll always be able to find something to be offended by.

There is cursing and there is other stuff that are not really meant or aimed at kids. But the movie has its heart on the right place (no pun intended) ... and it works. There are some scenes during the credits - but the end itself was satisfying enough (imho)

Great movie that shows the double standards the adults live by. Especially in Austria, that was never de-nazified, and therefore still as to day never really have faced their past and history.

I highly recommend it.

This can take you into your imagination with melodious bgm. The childhood memories are so true that one can relate this story with his own version with variations.

The movie is based on the childhood and art of cartoonist Manfred Deix who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago. It captures the look and feel of his art incredibly well.
