A magical family experience with the little ghost
When the clock strikes midnight at Eulenstein Castle, a new adventure begins for the little ghost. At the Children's Cinema in Cinema Quadrat Mannheim, families will experience a lovingly hand-drawn animated film based on the well-known children's book classic by Otfried Preußler on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
Spook, wonder, and children's laughter
The little ghost has lived at Eulenstein Castle for centuries and awakens every night precisely at midnight. One day, something unusual happens: The ghost wakes up in broad daylight and discovers a world it has only known through stories. The unexpected encounter with sunlight, people, and new challenges creates excitement, humor, and many imaginative moments.
Child-friendly film classic for small cinema fans
The handcrafted animated film from 1992 lasts 86 minutes and is rated FSK 0. The official age recommendation is from 5 years. This makes the screening suitable as an age-appropriate introduction to a joint cinema visit and offers children a manageable, visually rich learning experience centered around courage, friendship, and curiosity.
Learning fun through stories and film art
The Children's Cinema at Cinema Quadrat combines seeing and wondering with an age-appropriate introduction. Young visitors receive insights into the creation, content, or technical aspects of the respective film. This transforms the cinema afternoon into more than just entertainment: children discover narrative structures, character development, and the special effects of hand-drawn animation.
Quality time at Cinema Quadrat
The cinema hall creates a protected environment for families, where imagination, shared experiences, and opportunities for conversation have space. The story invites discussions after the screening about wishes, friendship, and the courage to explore an unknown world. Doors open at 2:30 PM; before the film, the children can take part in a small crime participation activity.
Conclusion: An imaginative cinema afternoon for the whole family
The Children's Cinema with The Little Ghost promises spookiness without fright, loving animation, and a heartwarming story for children from 5 years and their families. Those who wish to combine quality time, children's laughter, and child-friendly learning fun will experience a special family afternoon at Cinema Quadrat.
