COLOGNE, Germany -- Achterbahn, the German production house behind the cult Werner animated films, filed for insolvency protection Wednesday, joining a long list of German market-listed media firms that have gone bust in recent months. The company, based in the northern German city Kiel, faced a cash crunch after the lackluster performance of Werner III, which took in around €14 million ($13.7 million) -- €10 million less than its either of its predecessors -- and live-action comedy Wie die Karnickel (Like Rabbits), which flopped, earning just €1.6 million ($1.57 million).
