Straight into your heart

Augsburger Puppenkiste – Urmel aus dem Eis is a charming puppet series set on the remote South Sea island of Titiwu, where animals speak and attend an unconventional school. Professor Habakuk Tibatong has taught his animal companions—including the pig Wutz, the shoebill Shush, Ping Penguin, and the monitor lizard Wawa—to talk, though most suffer from speech impediments. When a block of ice washes ashore containing a prehistoric egg, a remarkable creature called the Urmel hatches and can speak perfectly. The orphan Tim Tintenklecks assists the professor in his experiments, but when the eccentric scholar makes a rash decision about the Urmel's discovery, unexpected complications unfold. This beloved German puppet production blends whimsy with gentle adventure, celebrating friendship between humans and animals in a world where the impossible becomes everyday magic.
