Quatsch und die Nasenbärbande (Fiddlesticks) (2014) is about the average village of Bollersville. A town so average, in fact, that it is the perfect place for consumer research. The adults of Bollersville are proud of being average and enjoy trying new products before they hit the market, so much so that they do everything to remain average, including putting all the grandparents into an old folks home to keep their statistical average! The kids take matters into their own hands to avoid the same fate as their parents. Rieke, Max, Lene, Paul, Suse and Ben, team up with a Nasenbär (coati), named Quatsch, to set a world record and prove that their town is anything but average! 82 minutes long. In German with English subtitles. Recommended for ages 4 to 9.
