Kasper at the Nixie Lake (1942)

Overview

The film is a testament to puppet animation during the Nazi era. The story centers on Hohnsteiner Kasper, who no longer relies on a frying pan or a beating to solve his problems and difficulties, but instead uses humor and ingenuity. The Hohnstein Kasper, however, is no paragon of virtue who bores children with moral lectures. "He acts in an exemplary moral manner, but he does not preach."
