Hans der Beer's beloved polar bear Lars returns for more adventures, with a new feline friend.

The film deals loosely with the adventures of the grizzled Gustav who captains a ship – a giant floating ‘snailboat’ – with a crew of talking animals and lumbering sailors in blackface. It unspools like a perverse children’s story book, all at once cuddly cute, grotesquely obscene and beyond absurd as normal narrative logic shatters, giving way to an episodic, free-associative structure that one critic likened to “cinematic memory association.” (joergbuttgereit.com)

Liebe auf Bewährung

This charming animated adventure follows a young polar bear, Lars, as he befriends Robbie, a seal. Together, these two form a friendship that proves different breeds of animals can get along perfectly well.

Lars is experiencing exciting adventures again. First he discovers a sunken ship with Robby, then he drives away evil bandits and finally a strange bird appears at the North Pole: It's Caruso, the singing penguin.

New adventures from Lars, the cheeky little polar bear who loves nothing more than to explore the big wide world. This time Lars and his friend Robby start out for a rescue mission for their friend Caruso leading them all the way to the Galapagos Islands.

Polar bear Lars undertakes an adventurous quest to find his parents, meeting a homesick husky and falling in love along the way.

After a long journey with new brown bear friend Lea, Lars finds his parents have become ill. While fetching medicine, Lars crosses the snow line for the first time and learns about the forest. With his parents cured, it’s time to relax until Yuri, the funny Puffin, drops in unable to fly. It’s up to Lars and his chillin’ chums to help Yuri head back to the skies where he belongs!
