School of Magical Animals 4

What it’s about

Ida Kronenbeng's friend Miriam arrives at Winterstein School for three months, unaware of the magical animals. On her first day, Miriam is entrusted with the tarsier Fitzgeraldo, while Max, deeply in love, is given the owl Muriel. Their joy is cut short by the news that the school is to be sold, threatening the magical community. The only hope is to win a demanding school competition, but for Miriam it is doubly hard: her former classmates and her enemy Torben are among the rivals.

What hooks you

Bernhard Jasper and Maggie Peren direct a cast led by Emilia Maier as Ida, Loris Sichrovsky as Jo Jonathan Wieland, and Emilia Pieske as Helene May. The film builds on a popular book series, and the catalogue notes it as a sequel full of magic-school clichés.

Who it’s for

It suits viewers who enjoy light-hearted fantasy adventures with talking animals and school settings. It will appeal to those who like stories about friendship, secrets, and teamwork against a deadline.
