Yes!
[Announcer] Wow, there's been nobody quicker here!
It's really a great race time!
Whew, that was close!
Ooh!
[Announcer] But he made it!
Now a beautiful changeover
and now the aircraft almost stalls.
Ladies and gentlemen, I've never seen anything like this!
Yeah!
[Peter] Felix!
[Announcer] And if he doesn't make
a mistake now he'll set a new world record!
But what could possibly go wrong?
- Yes! - Felix!
We've overslept, today's the--
First day of school, at the Otto!
Yes, exactly, come on, move it!
T-shirt, I'll get it for you.
Here, mom sent this to you for your first day.
(upbeat pop music)
Cool!
Yeah, really cool.
Okay, here, grab this.
Jacket.
Huh?
Breakfast, it's important, let's go!
You need to give your complete attention in class, okay?
- Watch out, Dad! - (horns blaring)
Oh, geez!
Okay.
Please stick to the rules, okay?
(Felix grunting)
Traffic light.
(camera flashing)
Tell me, how come this school
doesn't have an answering machine?
Felix, you've just flunked out of school because
you were playing video games during the math exam.
If you really wanna become a pilot,
then switch that thing off and get started.
Felix, this is--
My last chance here, otherwise we'll have to move.
(tires screeching)
(ominous music)
Parking, parking, parking--
I read that the pilots' exam is pretty hard.
Maybe I should become something else.
What?
It's what you've always wanted to-- (crashing)
(sucking)
I'll do my best, okay?
(ominous music)
Come.
Hmm?
Hello? (echoing)
This way.
Oh, my.
And I thought the founder of this school
was a child-friendly kind of guy.
Oh well, come on.
Ah, right there.
(laughs)
Good morning.
Frontman's my name and this is my son, Felix.
It's his first day at your school
and we want to check in with the principal.
Unfortunately, we're a little bit late.
You're in the wrong place.
This classroom hasn't been used in years.
Oh, yeah, is that so?
Why is that?
(ominous music)
You need to go that way and turn left.
Yeah, that's good.
Thanks a lot.
Geez, what was that? (chuckles)
(clock ticking)
(Peter clearing throat)
Yeah, we were a little late.
I'm sorry.
It's just that we have this really old alarm clock.
(tense music)
Let yourself be guided.
That is how our school motto goes.
You surely read it at the gate.
It's from Latin.
Ah.
We have been using the latest
educational methods for over 100 years.
Felix Frontman.
Are you prepared to submit to them?
Actually, I wanted to go to school here.
If I am to be honest I doubt
this is the right place for you.
You do?
However, we do have principles.
And thanks to our school's founder,
Otto Leonhard, it is the custom that everyone,
regardless of their background and previous achievements,
is allowed to prove themselves, even you, young man.
Cool!
We will decide on your enrollment in three months.
In the next two weeks you will write two exams.
You have to pass these.
- Do you understand? - Mm-hmm.
Questions?
Uh, yes.
It's so quiet and deserted here.
Is everyone out on a field trip or what?
Discipline prevails here.
No cavorting, running, yelling,
climbing, whistling, jumping.
So, breathing and studying only, I guess?
Quiet breathing and studying.
(gulping)
Take your son to class 5B.
My pleasure, thank you.
Yeah.
It's actually not that bad here, is it?
(thudding)
- Ow! - I'm sorry.
Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein, I wish I were
able to say it's good to see you.
School Inspector Henning, I've already communicated
to you on the phone that I am not available to speak today.
You cannot change the future, Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein.
Rules are rules, in this building they do apply
as much to you as they do to me.
It's pupil consultation hour now and then I'm in class.
I'll be back at 10 in the morning
and you will see me then.
You will receive this in writing
as a formal instruction, I promise you.
Goes without saying I will respect a formal instruction.
(huffing)
This place is such a pain in the neck!
(doors slamming) (groaning)
(gargoyle giggles)
Damn it!
(laughs)
There is absolutely no reason for you to be laughing!
Get in here!
If you have any hassles with her
then just imagine her naked.
What?
That's what I do with my clients when they're bugging me.
I just picture them naked, butt naked!
Geez, Dad, that's totally sick!
Or in a clown suit or a tiny, weeny swimsuit.
That works, too!
I'm going inside to get started.
Yes, sir, Captain!
Have fun and behave, okay?
(smooching)
(suspenseful music)
(upbeat pop music)
(kids chattering)
Get lost, Mario!
(drone whirring)
Hi, I'm Felix.
Hi, Felix.
Wow, a parrot drone with a camera.
It comes with glasses that make
you feel like you're sitting in it.
Crazy!
Do you mind if I try it?
On what?
Whether you're one of us.
This guy bugging you, boss?
Who is that, anyway?
I think his name's Felix.
Bit of a trashy kid.
Looks like a loser.
Are you with us in this class?
Yes, my name's Felix Frontman, this is my first day.
Frontman, is that some kind of nickname?
Listen, Frontman, you can wait at the back, man.
(laughs)
That was funny!
Back man!
(smacking)
Gee, that's a new joke.
You guys must be really cool.
Exactly and you'd better remember it.
Watch it, Schmitty's coming!
(kids chattering)
Good morning!
[Students] Good morning, Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein!
Ugh!
Shoo!
(sneezing)
Why are you still standing?
The seat next to Ella's free.
Rather a feline than a Felix.
Nothing in the front.
(boys laughing)
Felix, to the blackboard, please.
Remember that you are only here on probation.
Notebooks out!
Write this down; side length A, 40 centimeters.
Can you please use the grid?
It's not just there for decoration.
But, I did do that.
Start over, please!
We do have a sponge.
(giggling)
Please draw a quadratic pyramid with isosceles triangles.
I think that's when all sides are of equal length.
Felix!
Is that wrong?
Triangle ruler.
(laughs)
Then use two of them to form
an octahedron and name the height.
Oh, and before that?
What did they teach you at this previous school of yours?
Do you have any idea how to do this?
Math is not really my thing.
Not your thing?
What does that mean?
I'm not very good at math.
Yes, so we've noticed.
Ella, he won't be sitting next to you for long.
Could you please enlighten us?
(bell ringing)
She's always like that, you'll be fine.
If only you knew what was hanging on this.
She dissed you pretty badly, dude.
Schmitty's enemies are almost our friends.
Really?
What do you do during recess?
Play soccer or skateboard?
Who exactly do you mean?
Well, you.
Watch your back!
You need to decide whose side you're on.
It's us, or the girls, or the rest of the losers.
If you wanna join us, you have to pass three dares.
- Really? - (smacking)
Oh, yeah, right!
We all had to do it.
And I gladly took on four.
Yeah, right.
And, are you in?
(Felix sighing)
What kind of dares would they be?
Did you know that this school is haunted?
- Whoo! - Whoo!
Nasty, then I've gotta catch a ghost?
No, just break into the old teachers' room after dark.
What?
Housebreaking?
(groans)
You're scared of Schmitty, right?
You're a loser after all!
Little feline! (laughs)
(soft music)
[Mario] You're scared of Schmitty, right?
You're a loser after all!
[Peter] Felix, this is your last chance,
otherwise we'll need to move.
[Chris] Little feline! (laughs)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(Michalsky coughing)
My God, Michalsky, what is it?
You're still working?
I'm marking.
One of the few joys in a teacher's life.
You shouldn't be here so late at night.
I'm flattered by your concern,
but I'm just fine, thank you.
Goodnight, Mr. Michalsky.
As you wish.
Goodnight.
(chuckles)
(tender music)
(shooing)
Get lost, Hulda!
[Felix] Who's he talking to?
Well, to the ghost who haunts here.
Hulda Stechbarth?
(engine revving)
She was the school's principal.
And she haunts the old teacher's room where--
You want me to wave from.
Who believes this garbage?
You really want him to break in?
Well, what could possibly go wrong?
We're keeping watch here.
(gasping)
(sinister music)
(door creaking)
Wow!
(mystical music)
I'm in!
Come over if you dare!
It's really cool!
Hmm?
(ball rattling)
(cat growling and hissing)
Oh, it's you.
Felix Frontman!
Uh-oh!
Can you please tell me what you
are doing in the forbidden part of
the school in the middle of the night?
Uh, I kind of lost my direction and got lost
and my watch has, I mean, my cell phone battery--
Do not lie to me!
- You're hiding something there. - Uh-uh.
Breaking in, lying, stealing.
It's over for you.
(dramatic music)
You broke more rules on your first day
than any other probationary student.
I'm going to call your parents right now.
No, please don't!
Not naked, not naked!
What's all the mumbling?
Speak up, boy!
What was it he said?
I should simply picture--
If you cannot immediately offer me
an extraordinary explanation for
your presence here my decision stands!
[Felix] She's standing there.
Then you leave me no other choice.
- Totally. - I'm going to tell
your parents that you Totally naked.
won't be admitted! (zapping)
Huh?
Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein?
Where did you go?
(gasping)
What's going on, now?
[Mario] Felix?
Mario?
I'm here.
(gasping)
It's a really cool place, huh?
You passed the first dare, bud.
I'm not sure I'm gonna be doing the second one.
This was really, really creepy.
Was Hulda Stechbarth here?
I'll kick her butt!
No, uh, Schmitty.
(whimpering)
(laughs)
Schmitty!
No kidding?
Let's get out outta here.
[Schmitty] Ow, what is that?
Oh, yuck!
There's at least 20 kilos of chewing gum!
Okay, that'll work.
Is that you?
Where have you been so late?
I need to talk to you, it's about school.
Oh, Felix.
You promised you'd try harder.
(Schmitty groaning)
Yes, and I did try hard.
But there's these guys and they...
Come over here.
Come here.
Tell me, what's wrong?
[Felix] They set me up with a dare
and I thought I'd be a loser if I didn't accept it.
I had to wave at them from the old teachers' room.
[Peter] What, you had to break in?
[Felix] Yes, it's not that easy to be in a new class.
I also didn't feel very good about it.
(thudding) (groaning)
It was really strange.
In the end she just disappeared.
Felix, that was your first day at the Otto.
Yes, I know.
Adelaide, focus now.
What to do next?
Think now.
You need to set your priorities.
(crying) The toilet!
Write in the squares, take the sponge!
I even thought about your tip.
Not naked, of course, I just didn't
wanna be scared of that old...
Old bag?
Mm-hmm.
(groaning)
This Mario and his friends are--
(computer ringing)
Crap, it's Mom!
(frantic music)
That could work.
Come, come!
Come, come, come, come, come!
Okay, we won't be telling Mom about
this little problem right now.
Remember, we made a family decision
to let Mom work in the States and that's why
we're both gonna make this work.
Okay?
I'll call the school tomorrow.
- Ready? - Yeah.
- Hey there, my boys! - Hi there, Mom!
Hi there, foxy!
Hey!
I dreamt about you last night.
How are you doing?
Good, except for a few trivialities.
Is everything okay, Felix?
Yeah, yeah, it's all cool, especially my new school.
Yeah, (laughs) just a few minor difficulties.
Oh well, that's normal.
Yeah, it's normal.
You just had a phase day at school.
It'll get better.
It was really great the way you explained math to me.
And I won't get into the Otto anyway.
What, why wouldn't they take you?
Well, we're not sure about that yet.
- What? - Not quite.
But there's not another school left in Schumtrop!
I'm coming back right away.
No, no, no, under no circumstances--
We'll need to move if it's not working out.
I'll talk to my colleagues.
No, Mom, it's okay, I'll work it out.
Honey, this is your breakthrough!
You have to finish your design!
We'll sort this out together. (urine trickling)
[Sandra] Yes, Peter, but you also have to work.
It's done.
It's done!
Look here!
And?
(laughs)
Well, maybe a little over the top?
Yeah, it's taking on the shape
of a tree here in the front.
Hang on.
Where have I put the bonsai?
I had it just...
Ah! (Schmitty squealing)
(urine splattering)
Oh, yuck!
What's this?
1.25 liters of sage tea!
Mom, I'm really sorry.
I'll pull it together again.
[Sandra] You would tell me if
you need me to come home, right?
Yes, but I can handle it.
I promise you.
You've grown really tall.
You know that?
You carry on and build your house.
Mm-hmm!
- Sleep well, sweetie! - (smooching and blowing)
Don't call me sweetie!
Goodnight, Mom.
Goodnight, mwah!
Mwah!
Wow, that was close!
Yes!
(peaceful music)
(alarm beeping)
(smacking)
Ouch!
What's that for?
[Schmitty] High time you woke up!
So come, come, come!
(dramatic music)
(Felix gasping)
What's this, some kind of nightmare?
Yes, you could say that.
Excuse me?
It is a nightmare!
It's not a dream.
What have I done?
Excuse me?
That was me, I wished you to be small yesterday!
Stop yelling at me!
I'm not hard of hearing!
You can't wish someone small!
It's totally against the law of physics.
And why would you, anyway?
Well, I didn't wanna picture you naked,
and so I made you smaller with my two fingers in my head.
Zap!
Get dressed, I urgently need some breakfast.
Ouch, you're such a rude boy!
Do you not have any sensitivity?
Is this supposed to be the kitchen?
This is disgusting!
I'll have sage tea and crisp bread with curd and sprouts.
We definitely don't have any of that.
When was the last time you cleaned up here?
Yuck!
I won't have the curd unless it's sealed.
Don't worry, we don't eat that around here.
Okay, then.
We need to get back to school as quickly as possible.
This is the only way.
No one will take me seriously if they see me like this.
Do you think the school ghost
has anything to do with this?
Hulda Stechbarth?
No!
What are you doing with your fingers?
I was trying to wish you big again.
Ah-ha.
Well, I thought maybe you'd be grateful
and then you would forget about last night.
Trust me, I have never been forgetful.
(footsteps clomping)
Not a word!
Did you say something?
[Felix] No, in my head, maybe.
Did you fall out of bed?
You could say that, yeah.
Great, then we can have breakfast together.
(splatting)
No, I'm just making myself a curd sandwich
(screaming) for school.
- Curd sandwich? - Mm-hmm.
Since when do you make yourself sandwiches?
Should I cut it for you?
No, no thanks, it's good like that!
It's an Otto kind of thing.
They have principles.
That old concept.
Can I give you a ride?
No, no, I'm taking the skateboard.
Thank you, cheers, Pops!
(slurping)
[Schmitty] Let me out immediately!
I'm drowning in curd!
My outfit, I've a very important meeting!
I will have you expelled as soon as I can!
Oh, you are truly the low point of my teaching career!
(Schmitty screaming)
(dramatic music)
(Schmitty screaming)
(dryer blowing)
You would've liked that, wouldn't you?
By finishing your teacher off!
As if that would've solved your problems!
And be careful with my clothes!
You're burning them and they're going to shrink!
Quiet!
I'm taking you to the old teachers' classroom
to try to make you big again.
And if that doesn't work you can sleep in the trashcan.
I'm done with you in any case!
Oh!
This way, please.
Come in, come in.
With your financial aid we will be able
to create something quite unique here.
Exclusively for children like you.
This room has not been used in years.
This Otto Leonhard had a screw loose
and he set up some kind of African museum in here.
We will, of course, throw all of this junk away,
and build a great club here for the students' parents.
As it will cost you quite a lot
to enroll your children here.
(flame roaring)
What's going on there?
Michalsky, do something!
(spraying) (splattering)
You idiot!
I'm most dreadfully sorry!
Really, I'm most awfully sorry!
(gasping)
Someone's already here.
Huh, who is it?
It's the guy you didn't want to see.
He's busy wiping bath foam off some people.
[Schmitty] Huh, the School Inspector?
He has no business being here!
Tell him that I've banned him from the premises.
Why I should I take him on?
Isn't it enough that you're going to expel me anyway?
If you don't say something soon
there'll be no school left to expel you from!
What?
[Schmitty] I'm banning him, now go ahead!
(Felix clearing throat)
What are you looking at, boy, huh?
Shouldn't you be in class?
Yes, sir.
I'm supposed to tell you something
from Schmitty, uh, Schmitt-Gössenwein.
Very well, I'm all ears.
She's banning you from the premises.
Schmitt-Gössenwein is banning me?
(Henning laughs)
Don't make me laugh!
That old dragon sends you with a message?
What a complete failure!
(Michalsky clearing throat)
My son, perhaps you know Mario,
must be about the same age, has told me some things.
You can inform your teacher that Mario's notice
of departure has already been processed by the board.
Your school has too few students.
I will tell everyone tomorrow at the conference.
The school will be closed.
(gasping)
Okay, I'll tell her.
Very good.
You can follow me this way.
Thank you, young man.
Please, come along.
[Schmitty] He won't know what hit him.
- Get in there! - Wait a second.
What does this mean, the school will be closed?
It's not official yet.
I need this school in Schumtrop!
Yes, do you think I'm going to let
this wet rag steal my school away from me?
He's got a lot to learn about me!
He can open his elite school somewhere else!
An elite school?
Yes, where children can be as brainless as you,
but who, unlike you, have money.
But you're only one student short!
Oh, this is just another shady move by this schemer!
You need to enroll me!
You still have to pass your math exam
and I'm pessimistic, to say the least.
What, you'd still flunk me even though you need me now?
Rules are rules, they count once they're established.
How dare you?
Hey, what are you doing with your bag?
Oh, you'll break every pen that way!
What are you doing?
Excuse me, ow!
You're gonna help me pass this exam.
(grunting)
What are you doing, you impertinent, snotty brat!
I'm not gonna let you take my last chance away from me!
That's an F and that's it!
You'll get an extra exercise for this!
You're my cheat sheet now.
(laughs)
Most definitely not!
Yes, you will, else you stay small.
I'll help you and you help me.
(drone whirring)
- Hi! - Oh, hi!
So, have you decided yet?
Girls or dumbasses?
Nothing in between?
Well, nobody's normal around here, but the school's okay.
No kidding?
Yeah, it's a bit weird,
but most of us like it, despite Schmitty.
So why did you have to switch schools?
Um, that's just a bit personal.
Sorry, too nosy, I know.
Everybody says so.
No, it's no sweat.
I'm just not too proud of it.
Mario, you're annoying!
I'll get back to sorting my pencil case again.
Sure.
So what's in it?
That is, um--
Personal, sorry.
Felix, you let me out of here right now!
So, dear children, I'm very sorry,
but I will be supervising your examination this morning.
However, I believe I've put some really,
really fine math solutions together for you to solve.
I wish you the best of luck and enjoy.
What's all this?
Why hasn't he used my test?
What do I have to write down?
No, I'm not helping you with this.
This test is so easy even a lame-brain
like you should be able to do it.
If you don't help me I won't help you, either.
Get started now, for heaven's sake!
Fine.
Is that correct?
Apart from that atrocious scribbling, surprisingly, yes.
I didn't expect that, either.
(suspenseful music)
Hey!
Hey, hey.
Dare number two; you'll write our tests, too.
Are you crazy?
Cell phone.
Who does he think he is?
You need to help me.
Totally out of the question!
How else am I gonna take four tests at the same time?
You shouldn't do anything for people like that.
Although, isn't that the School Inspector's wayward son?
I need to get a B, at least,
in order for them to still talk to me.
So will you help me now?
Of course, yeah, I'll help you.
Okay, 4,256,789.
Really?
[Schmitty] 8,660,100.
[Felix] Uh-oh.
(bell ringing)
(ominous music)
Oh, no, my fountain pen!
(Schmitty groaning)
But, thank you, that was great help.
So what's the big plan going forward?
Well, as soon as you've enrolled me
we can scale you up again then you'll
have enough students to have a school.
And how's that supposed to work?
In any case, look at the state of me.
It's just a little ink.
Firstly, we're going straight to Boutique Elegance
and you'll buy me a new dress.
I'm not buying any women's clothing,
that's super embarrassing!
And I don't have that much money, anyway.
I'm saving up for a...
Huh?
I've got an idea.
Here, this should be the right size.
Yes, but it's the ugliest of all the dresses.
Felix!
What a surprise.
Hi, Ella.
Do you like dolls?
What doll is that?
Oh, this doll.
It's not for me.
Who's it for?
A girlfriend.
You have a girlfriend?
A female friend and she has a problem.
A problem?
I mean, a birthday.
You're giving a doll to a friend for her birthday?
How sweet!
Yeah, sweet.
I'll pay for it.
(Schmitty squealing)
Did you just steal something?
What?
No!
What are you doing for the rest of the day?
I have to get back to school.
I see.
We're going in the same direction.
(upbeat pop music)
Bye, I need to go right.
Me, too!
(gasping)
(yelling) (thudding)
Miss Schmitt-Gössenwein!
Schmitty, is everything okay?
Oh no, Schmitty, you're not dead?
(groaning)
Schmitty! (splashing)
Schmitty?
Who's that supposed to be?
I'm so happy that you're your grumpy self.
Wow, this is badass!
Ella Borsig, what kind of an expression is that?
Miss Schmitt-Gössenwein shrank?
Yes, and now the entire school will know!
This is so crazy.
You've gotta tell me all about it.
How did it happen?
I don't have a choice, right?
No.
So what's the plan?
(sinister music)
Does anyone know where Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein is?
What exactly is going on here?
- Please! - School Inspector, this is--
Please, please, please, leave now!
You can't allow this without permission!
Tomorrow's conference!
(door slamming)
(groaning)
Can no one open this damn door?
(slamming)
(yelling) (thudding)
(kids giggling)
Come on, hurry.
(gargoyle laughing)
(groaning)
Good, we've reconstructed the scene.
Now you need to wish me tall again.
But isn't that against the laws of physics?
Yes, uh, no.
The circumstances of an experiment
must be exactly the same.
As you wish.
Try very hard.
Do it exactly the same.
Okay.
Not naked, not naked.
You must be doing something wrong.
Maybe, it's not my fault.
What, am I supposed to be the problem?
That's not possible!
What did you say to Felix at the time?
Me?
That's got nothing to do with this situation!
We don't even know what the situation was.
So it won't hurt if you try and remember.
There was also a noise.
Well, yes.
Felix did apparently break in, after all.
So?
I wanted to expel him from the school,
even when that would mean that the school would be closed.
(Otto groaning)
I stand by that, rules are rules!
That was the sound.
(fire roaring)
- Fire! - What?
(fire hissing)
It has to have something to do with this ball.
Uh, I could probably help with that.
It belongs to the Otto Leonhard collection
and I took his notes home with me.
Huh?
So what?
I didn't steal them, I just borrowed them.
I love old books!
(classical music)
With the salary they'll be paying me
on the executive board we'll be able
to hire a housekeeper, my darling.
I've certainly been waiting for that long enough.
And you'll get a raise in your
allowance and some proper friends.
Appropos.
Who's the new student in your class?
(choking)
I beg your pardon!
Don't you like it?
A new one?
Why hasn't anyone told me?
He only started yesterday.
I cannot abide another student.
I won't be able to close the school!
I certainly hope you'll deal with this.
Of course.
I need a plan right away.
I need to talk to Schmitt-Gössenwein.
An offer, I'll make her an offer!
[Schmitty] The key's under the geranium pot.
Well, I didn't really expect that.
[Schmitty] Do you really think I'm so bourgeois?
There are shoe covers there and please don't touch anything.
Do you live here all on your own?
[Schmitty] Yes, who else do you expect to be living here?
- Well, a Mr. - Gössenwein, for example.
This house is sure big enough.
[Schmitty] I grew up here with my grandfather.
He bequeathed the house to me.
Is that you?
[Ella] When was that, then?
It was when I was a student.
I won a physics prize.
I could have done research in America.
Why didn't you?
My mother's been working there for six months now.
Yes, well, maybe I wasn't as brave as your mother.
Sounds as though you regret it.
Do you still dream of doing it?
Not as often as I used to.
But, if I could start over again.
I used to love it, just me and my books for days!
(laughs)
(clearing throat)
The stuff is over there in the cupboard.
Be careful, it's all very-- (crashing)
Dusty.
Whoa, this man really did get around.
I never knew whether he was
a genius or just downright crazy.
In any case, we're never gonna
get through all this by tomorrow.
You can open the ball.
(dramatic music)
There are ashes in here.
(zapping) (yelling)
(wind howling)
What is that?
(dramatic music)
(gasping)
My name is Otto!
Otto Leonhard!
My time is coming to an end and my life's work is in danger.
All the students hate my successor,
Hulda Stechbarth, and rightly so!
She fights every single one of my ideas
regarding a better teaching method.
However, I have taken precautions.
I will brew a magical elixir right here and now.
With this magical elixir my spirit
will be transferred to the school
in order to fight anyone who dares
to optimize my ideas, uh, compromise, I mean!
My grateful thanks for the recipe
must go to my old friend, Chef Sentopky.
No, this one, here.
(laughs)
Is that some kind of recording?
Straight out of a time capsule?
A hyena, maybe.
Hello?
Can you hear me?
A hyena mane hank.
Which we will boil up briefly.
A pinch of ribbit din.
Oh, (laughs) rabbit dung!
I'm also a pinch.
Then we'll add two bulls.
Uh, two bullfrogs.
Two bullfrog eyes!
I can see you, diddly-do!
(Otto laughs)
Now, we'll flambe the whole thing!
(fire whooshing)
Missing something.
What's it say?
A louse?
Oh, a mouse!
Ugh!
(Schmitty groaning)
With the help of this magical elixir
I will now transfer my spirit into this schoolhouse
in order to fight everyone who um, uh.
I've already said that, right?
It's black magic.
(Otto gulping)
(zapping)
Awesome!
The school isn't haunted by Hulda Stechbarth,
it's haunted by Otto Leonhard!
Kids, you don't actually believe
that lousy professor has the power to--
It's exactly the same now!
The school's about to be closed
and the unpopular principal has disappeared!
What have I got in common with Hulda Stechbarth?
No one hates me!
Well, in the beginning I hated you just a little.
What's that supposed to mean?
In the beginning?
Well, until I was in your class, um, maybe...
A little more precisely, please.
Um, until you were shrunk, until I got to know you better.
Well, to be completely honest, until just now.
(somber music)
Ella, say something.
He's right, most people are scared of you.
And that means that--
I have been working 12 hours a day
for 20 years for the Otto Leonhard school.
And now it comes out that I'm hated
and that I'm responsible for the school's closing?
Well, it isn't exactly fun being in your class.
Fun?
Do you think I'm having fun?
(crying)
But we know what we have to do now.
If you enroll me before the school conference
you'll have enough students then--
Yeah!
And this Otto will have nothing against you.
At least no more than he used to.
Yes, but it doesn't work that way!
That doesn't conform to the rules, your exams!
I'm so exhausted!
Right now I think you should first sleep on it.
You'll know what to do tomorrow morning.
We'll pick you up before school.
(Schmitty sobbing)
Or you can sleep at my place if you want to.
In that dirty junk room?
It's just a suggestion.
Well, if you insist.
Thank you.
[Ella] I'll swing by at six tomorrow morning.
[Felix] Yeah, see you tomorrow!
[Ella] See ya!
(ominous music)
(doorbell ringing)
Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein?
(knocking)
You can open the door, I come in peace!
I have some good news for you!
Have a look in your letter box!
(soft music)
(tender music)
(alarm beeping)
(smacking)
Ow!
What's that for?
It's time to get up!
I need to show you something.
This is so crazy!
I think I know what kind of ideas
Otto Leonhard had for the school.
I checked his plan against an aerial image
of our school here.
If you work the scale out correctly
you can tell there's a course with
various different rooms underneath.
Look here.
Do you see that?
This room has a side length of nine centimeters
with a one to 50 scale that equals four comma five meters.
Good job calculating that.
Listen to this, it gets even better!
These rooms are all connected
and have themes like geometry or science.
The truth is, the only thing under
our school is a dusty basement.
No, I believe Otto Leonhard built
something like playgrounds down there.
If you believe school and playing
go together you're barking up the wrong tree.
(somber music)
Okay, I've never stayed at a student's house before,
but if I understand it correctly,
you want to be a pilot.
I don't know.
You could fly to the United States
whenever you feel like it.
And if that's your dream you must not lose sight of it.
You have to fight for it and you will succeed.
And I'm more than willing to help you.
Really?
Yeah, of course, I will need to be tall again first.
(pen scraping)
Otto Leonhard, can you hear me?
She's enrolled me.
She wants to save the school.
I guess we'll have to stop
the School Inspector this afternoon.
Is there an 'H' here?
Yes, what else would it be?
Nobody will be able to read that.
The curve needs to be higher.
I know how to write an 'H', thank you!
I can simply just sign it myself.
Felix, this needs to be a valid document.
But this 'H' is unreadable.
Now, stop being so pedantic.
You're really driving me crazy!
Look who's talking now!
You're even worse than that!
She's right.
(somber music)
Don't give up, you know how to do it.
So, my dear friends and stewed plums,
I've graded your math papers and I have to say,
unfortunately, many of you did not do very well at all.
Ella, you are the exception.
You got a B.
Felix hasn't quite arrived here yet.
The first solution was good, but after that you faded away.
- D minus. - Huh?
Mario, Robert and Chris, unfortunately you got an E each.
- What? - Mark, a C minus.
- What did you do? - Sven, a D.
(banging)
You're dead, feline!
[Teacher] Alfonse, a C plus, congratulations.
(bell ringing)
(dramatic music)
Watch out, move!
Out of the way!
(thudding)
Hey, you're too slow!
Sorry, this is urgent, you idiot!
Leave him alone!
This is a boy thing!
Let go of me, loser!
(thudding) Ow!
How dare you get us into this crap!
That wasn't meant to happen!
My partner left me hanging, damn it!
Oh yeah, who was on the cell phone
you had in your pencil case?
I can't tell you that!
I wanna know who's responsible for my E!
- Come on, tell me! - Never!
- Felix, tell him! - Uh-uh.
Hold him down.
(dramatic music)
(boys grunting)
A dumb doll?
Huh?
It's, it's, it's just a mojo.
It looks just like Schmitty.
Frontman, you're a freak.
We don't want anything to do with you.
Give me back Schmitty!
My Schmitty doll.
Forget it, feline!
You won't be getting this back until
you come up with a solution to your failure.
Damn it, it's not even two hours
until the school conference!
We need to get Schmitty back right away!
(cat meowing)
Don't get jealous about food.
(Schmitty sneezing)
Have you got a cold?
(Schmitty sneezing)
What the hell?
What?
What is that?
I hate to say it but it's some kind of curse.
Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein?
Unfortunately, yes. (sneezing)
Could you please remove that cat?
My allergy, I can't stand it.
What are you wearing?
Was that you in Felix's pencil case?
Yes and I have to say you're lucky you even got an E.
You didn't even write the exam yourself!
Actually, you should have really got an F.
Uh, why are you looking at me like that?
What do you want from me?
(ominous music)
Have you ever seen a toilet bowl from the inside?
Or be barbecued?
Mario Henning, how dare you!
(screaming) (doll cackling)
You can't do that.
You wouldn't dare!
I'm warning you!
You wouldn't believe some of the things
I've already done to you in my dreams!
I'm warning you, I'll tell your father everything!
I'm sure he'd be very happy,
just like most of your students! (screaming)
[Felix] There's no car here.
Doesn't mean that he's alone.
We need to try anyway.
(whimpering)
No, you wouldn't dare!
This one is for your constant griping!
This one is for your stuck-up attitude!
(screaming)
No, please, I'm sorry!
Rejected!
This one is for your boring class!
(doorbell ringing)
I'm not done with you yet
and my snake isn't full yet, either.
(screaming)
Ella, what do you want?
The doll.
Geez, Ella, you think I'm a dumbass?
Why are you helping that loser, Felix?
Because your father is gonna close the school.
If you were a little nicer to me
I could make sure that you get to stay on.
Really, you could do that?
Yeah, I mean, you're the only girl
in the class that I kind of like.
And will I have to join your gang?
Nah, the gang will break up.
Why's that?
Robert's parents are always broke.
Chris's parents are revolutionaries.
Not very elite.
Sounds as if there still might
be a chance for the two of us.
But seriously, do you have Schmitty?
Yeah, of course.
Thanks, Mario.
That's all I wanted to hear.
What?
You've just acknowledged an abduction.
Hey, give that to me!
What?
Felix!
- Open the door now! - Schmitty?
(door banging)
[Mario] Open it!
- Let me in! - Crap!
[Mario] Open the door!
(screaming)
(Mario yelling)
Schmitty?
Felix, I'm so happy that you're here!
Schmitty, there you are!
[Mario] Felix, open up!
The question now is how do we get out of here?
[Mario] Open this door now!
[Felix] I've got an idea!
What?
No way!
Schmitty, you've gotta trust me.
Open it up!
(drone whirring)
(dramatic music)
(thudding)
Yes!
(groaning)
(crashing)
(doll cackling)
Yes!
(triumphant music)
(crowd chattering)
(door rattling)
(door slamming)
(grunting)
(door slamming)
(laughs)
(sinister music)
My dear ladies and gentlemen,
it's my pleasure to welcome you to
this extraordinary school conference today.
Welcome, everyone.
You may be able to tell from the choice
of room that a lot is going to change soon.
(sighing)
I can't go inside there.
(rattling)
Please, Otto Leonhard, we need Schmitty to be full size!
You need to tell the School Inspector
that you have enough students!
Mr. Leonhard, please!
It's not working.
It serves me right.
Unfortunately, to my regret,
I do not have good news for you today.
However, it remains that I am bound by law.
Your school simply does not have enough students.
That's why we have no alternative
but to close this facility.
(dramatic music)
Do you know what that Mario did to me?
Things like that don't just happen.
That's how Mario is.
He's a total nut case!
No, he got even with me for all
the things I've done to you all.
I will disappear like Hulda Stechbarth.
No one will even miss me.
Everything will be just fine.
No, nothing will be fine at all.
You need to get in there and stop the School Inspector!
I have failed as a teacher.
I cannot be the school's head.
(screaming)
Stop, there are enough students!
How dare you burst into our meeting!
I'm very sorry, but this is urgent!
Here.
Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein has enrolled me.
Now there are enough students at Otto Leonhard school again.
You can't close the school!
(Henning laughs)
What kind of childish scribbles is this?
You should have put more effort into signing this.
(crowd gasping)
Do you really think Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein
would not have been here in person
if she had wanted to prevent the school closing?
I'm sure she would have come if she had the choice.
And what, may I ask, would have kept her
from intervening in such an important event as this?
(suspenseful music)
She's...
I can tell you.
Your principal realized that she could
not stop the course of these events.
And that's why she accepted a promotion
to the education authority.
What?
She never did!
She did.
I have here the letter accepting her application,
which I personally delivered yesterday.
What?
She applied for a different position?
Here's a copy of her application.
She's fully entitled to further her career.
Don't you think?
I guess she's finally had enough of you children.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think this
concludes our business here.
I wish you all a very pleasant day.
What?
Wait a minute, that doesn't sound right.
Excuse me, hey.
Oh, nice!
Now what are we supposed to do for a job?
(door slamming) (dramatic music)
(fire roaring) (gasping)
What's going on here?
Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein?
Mm-hmm.
What has happened to you?
(zapping)
Ah, for a moment there I thought you'd shrunk!
You've been cursed, just like me!
(screaming)
Inspector Henning?
Where'd he go?
He's, um, disappeared.
Felix!
There was this white flash, but it didn't make Schmitty big.
Instead, it made Henning shrink and the floor
opened up and swallowed them both!
I don't care, Otto Leonhard knows exactly what he's doing.
I don't understand this.
Why didn't he maximize Schmitty again?
Because she didn't do anything.
She left us hanging.
Here, listen to this.
Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein, it gives us great pleasure
to inform you, successful application,
higher salary scale, board position, blah, blah, blah.
What does this mean?
Schmitty gave up on the school a long time ago.
She just used us.
She only wanted us to maximize her again.
I don't believe that!
Come on, we have to look for her.
Maybe she's hurt!
She didn't come in here
because she already has a new job.
Adults are only ever interested in their own careers,
but I always know where I'm headed.
But if we don't do something about this
none of us will have a school to go to.
I won't anyway.
Felix, please, you can't just walk out on me!
Ciao, Ella.
(Schmitty coughing)
- [Schmitty] Mr. - Henning, is that you?
You feel very bony.
[Mr. Henning] I jog on a regular basis.
What?
You're not even touching me.
[Schmitty] What?
Then there's someone else here!
[Mr. Henning] Hang on, I have a lighter somewhere.
(ominous music)
(both screaming)
Hulda Stechbarth was shrunk and disappeared
when she jeopardized the school's future.
Shrunk?
Yes.
(knocking)
Six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13.
(suspenseful music)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
(cat screeching) (Ella gasping)
Is that a passage?
Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein?
[Felix] This is Felix's voicemail.
Hi Felix, you were right.
There's something hidden underneath the school.
I really need your help.
Call me!
(gasping)
Hey, what a pleasant surprise.
Get her!
So?
Can we give Mom a call?
Yeah, that could work.
What's the matter?
It's a pretty long story.
Has it anything to do with school?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, then, um, family conference.
(upbeat pop music)
Okay, show time.
Here we go.
Let me see, okay.
Hey, how are my boys?
Good morning, my lovely.
[Sandra] Morning.
So, Felix has something to talk to us about.
It's got to do with his school.
Felix, honey, I'm really sorry.
We're expecting a lot, aren't we?
No worries and I tried very hard.
Yes, I know and you're also
someone we can count on anytime.
You don't leave people hanging.
Yeah, except for Ella.
Dad told me about your horrible teacher.
Yeah, well, when you get to know her
a little better she's not that bad.
The problem is the entire school's gonna be closed down.
What?
What about all the students?
Yeah, right?
[Ella Voiceover] Felix, please,
you can't just leave me hanging here!
If we don't do something none of us
are gonna have a school to go to!
I just remembered, I still need
to do something for school, bye!
(dramatic music)
(stammering)
[Mr. Henning] Will you stop throwing yourself at me?
[Schmitty] I'm not doing anything!
[Mr. Henning] You're purring!
(cat purring)
[Schmitty] Me, pur? (scoffs)
Here's my lighter.
(cat hissing) (both screaming)
Help!
(dramatic music)
(both yelling) (thudding)
[Ella] There's something hidden under the school.
I really need your help.
Call me!
Ella?
Ella, are you here?
Hi, Felix.
Have you lost your mind?
Let go of Ella now! (crunching and yelling)
(stomping and yelling)
Welcome to dare number three.
You give me Schmitty and maybe
I'll leave Ella for you in return.
You just don't get it, Dumbo.
I don't have Schmitty anymore.
If you don't wanna believe me, then ask him, you idiot!
You saw Schmitty yourself!
The ghost of Otto Leonhard is protecting the school.
What?
Why would a ghost defend a school?
Well, you can ask your leader that.
His father's responsible for closing it.
What crap is that?
The school's not gonna be closed.
It's just gonna become an elite school.
What?
What's that supposed to mean?
You know, why don't you let Mario's
friends hear what he has to say about it?
Oh, you mean.
Check this out.
[Mario Recording] No, the gang will break up.
[Ella Recording] Why's that?
[Mario Recording] Robert's parents are always broke
and Chris's parents are revolutionaries.
Not very elite.
Hey guys, it's the way of the world.
It's not me who's closing the school.
No, but your father is.
Do you have a plan or something?
First we need to find Schmitty.
That might help us save the school.
I'll help you.
It's our school as well, you know.
How dare you!
You traitor.
Geez, Mario, it was very uncool of you not to tell us.
Robert, anyone can join the elite, even you.
Yeah, you said it yourself,
my father can't even pay the rent.
I'll help you, too.
You're all crazy!
I'm gonna call my father now.
I'm sure he's at the office.
Come on, this way.
(cell phone beeping)
Damn it!
There must be something behind that.
Yes, we need to move all of this.
What, all of this?
Enough for us to be able to move the cupboard.
Well, that's easy peasy.
Let's do it.
(energetic music)
Over there.
(cell phone ringing)
My cell phone!
That'll save us.
Where am I?
Good question.
Yes, where are we, indeed.
Damn, the signal's so weak!
Maybe I can still send a text.
(grunting)
What is that?
(kids gasping)
Badass!
Sine Te duci a puero.
Let yourself be guided by the child.
By the child!
Puero, child!
It's the old school motto.
The second half was always missing.
I'm really starting to like this Otto Leonhard guy.
What are you doing there?
(electricity zapping)
[Felix] Wow!
(both gasping)
[Schmitty] Felix was right!
This is the course.
[Both] The course?
Yeah, wait, I'll show you.
Why didn't I listen to him?
Hello?
Anyone there?
[Felix] So we're here.
[Schmitty and Henning] Help!
We need help!
Do your hear that?
Where's it coming from?
[Schmitty and Henning] We are here!
It's coming from here, right?
[Schmitty and Henning] Can anyone hear us?
I think so.
Hello, Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein?
Felix, can you hear us?
We're down here!
Yes, we're on our way!
(Mario panting)
Mario?
What do you want?
Come with us.
(dramatic music)
Whoa!
[Ella] It looks like a geography room.
That's the way!
[Ella] Yeah!
[Both] Hello!
(yelling)
Hey, Dad!
Dad, we're coming!
Thank God, there's nothing to worry about!
(cat growling) (both screaming)
Somewhere there has to be, ah, here!
(circus music)
Wow!
This has to be some kind of riddle.
The Eiffel Tower!
I know that one, it represents France.
Ah!
(gears squeaking)
(clattering) (gasping)
Hurry, we have to solve three riddles!
Don't you dare!
Mario, you need to hurry, there's monsters!
(hissing) (screaming)
(fire crackling)
[Schmitty] Fire!
There's a fire!
- There's a fire? - Fire?
I know this one!
It's the Taj Mahal and it's in India.
(buzzing)
That's China!
(groaning)
(circus music)
(fire crackling) (both blowing)
[Schmitty] Oh, my God, the oil can!
Ah, the Sphinx!
I think it's in Giza, right?
And Giza is--
Wait, Giza's in Egypt!
(gears grinding)
- Yeah, right! - (kids cheering)
[Schmitty] Get ready to jump!
Easy for you to say, I'm scared of heights!
I'm not an orc!
Now, pull yourself together!
(sneezing)
(cat growling)
(both screaming)
Toast or cat food, it's a tough choice!
Ah, the Statue of Liberty!
I've been there, it's in New York!
(gears grinding)
(doors squeaking) (kids cheering)
Let's go!
Oh, man!
Another room!
Yeah, and it's math!
Hey Dad, we just need to solve the math riddles!
What are you waiting for, Mario?
No, let Felix do it!
Felix can do it!
Ella, we need a dice, hurry!
Um, there is no dice.
But we need one, or,
or not.
Bring me that blue thing over there.
(cat growling)
[Schmitty] Felix, how much longer?
(springs squeaking)
Actually, the question is, why should I save you
at all since you're leaving us
and going to the school board, anyway?
School board?
You mean my old application?
Thanks!
Chris, I need the yellow one in the middle.
Robert, the green one after it.
Mario, the red one.
How old?
Ancient.
From a time when the school wasn't at stake yet.
That was a long time ago.
The children were nothing but obstacles to me.
Yeah, and now?
Now I know that I should have listened
to all of you to prevent all of this happening!
I should have listened more closely.
I told you she wouldn't leave us hanging.
I guess I was wrong.
Sorry, Ella.
No biggie.
It could happen to anyone.
(fire blasting) (screaming)
We're going to die!
- Hurry, let's go, move it! - Come on!
Dad, I'm coming!
- There they are! - Here!
Help, hurry, the oil can's going to explode!
- Hurry! - They're right there!
(dramatic music)
(yelling)
Hurry, the can!
(dramatic music)
- The can! - Yes!
Oh, Ella, thanks a million!
You don't have to thank me.
I told you Felix could do it!
Oh, please, you don't really believe that.
Mario, tell her who really saved us.
(smacking)
Be honest!
Okay, actually it was--
Actually, it was all of us together.
[Kids] Yeah!
This course is fantastic!
Did you see the slide?
And the geography room was pretty tough,
my dears, but the trick was that--
- Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein? - Yes?
We'd like to begin.
Oh, I beg your pardon.
So now the two of you need to swear
that you won't close Otto Leonhard's school down.
Well, if that's all--
(fire roaring) (gasping)
(ball rattling)
Yes, we will...
[Both] We will not close the school!
(zapping)
Oh, what luck!
(laughing)
Hey, Dad?
(laughs)
School Inspector, I'm so very sorry.
You need to really mean it.
I do, yes, I promise you!
(zapping)
Mr. Leonhard, I'm very sorry!
I beg of you!
I admire you beyond any--
Hey, Dad!
What you created here every--
- Hey, Dad! - School would be proud!
Please, please, make me big again!
Hey, Dad!
I'm big again!
Did you see that?
(all laughing)
[Michalsky] Hulda, is that you again?
Hulda Stechbarth?
She's here, too?
Hulda?
There you are, Hulda!
(cat meowing)
- The cat's name is Hulda! - (all laughing)
What's going on here?
Principal, there you are again.
I was so worried about you.
So you see, someone did miss you after all.
Where have you been all this time?
And what's that for a kind of?
Yeah, well, it's a long story.
But, uh, I,
could tell it to you over a cup of sage tea.
Sage tea?
I love sage tea.
You really look good in anything you wear.
You know that?
(giggles)
(all chuckling)
(light upbeat music)
(cans clattering)
- Yeah! - (kids cheering)
Isn't this a wonderful festival?
Mr. Frontman, so glad you could make it!
- Hey, Mom! - Hi, sweetheart!
What are you doing here?
I couldn't miss my son's enrollment at the Otto, could I?
You didn't abandon your project, did you?
I'm gonna work part-time from my home office!
[Both] Home office?
Yeah!
[Both] Yes!
- Here we go. - Yeah.
Dear children,
dear parents, dear colleagues,
I welcome you all to the reopening
of the Otto Leonhard Learning School.
(audience clapping)
Whoo!
I would ask our respected school principal
Schmitt-Gössenwein to say a word
or two about our school's future.
(audience clapping)
Actually, our school motto said it perfectly all along.
A part of it just got lost along the way.
Let yourself be guided by the child.
I owe this discovery entirely to Felix Frontman,
who I almost didn't accept here,
even though he really deserves to go to this school.
(audience clapping)
Thanks.
So now, let's move on to the next item of the day.
Our school's founder, Otto Leonhard,
would probably have said let us all
have a bit more fun at our school.
- Bravo! - Bravo!
(audience clapping)
(upbeat pop music)
(screaming)
(singing in foreign language)
Mr. Leonhard, couldn't we still turn
this school into something a little more elitist?
For example, just one classroom for
a few selected children with a solid background?
(zapping)
No, please!
(Otto cackling)
