In the idyllic town of Neustadt, lives Benjamin — a talking elephant with a big heart and an even bigger appetite for adventure. Whether he's helping his best friend Otto, solving problems at the zoo, or stepping in when others need a hand (or a trunk), Benjamin always brings warmth, humor, and a touch of chaos to every situation.
The TV series is based on the beloved and widely popular German children's audio drama and book series "Benjamin Blümchen", created in 1977 by Elfie Donnelly.

In a world where everything is made of scrap metal, Knight Rusty thinks he's the bravest and boldest knight in all of Scrapland. In reality, however, he is a loud-mouthed braggart, and if it weren't for damsel Bo and the cheeky dragon Cole, Rusty would be in big trouble on every dangerous adventure.
Knight Rusty is based on the bestselling German children's book series "Ritter Rost" by Jörg Hilbert & Felix Janosa.
