Cirkeline, Coco og det vilde næsehorn

Circleen, Coco and the Wild Rhinoceros | Cirkeline, Coco und das wilde Nashorn
‘I happen to be a princess!’ · ‘Can’t you be my friend then?’ · ‘Only if I decide everything.’ · ‘OK, decide that I am your friend.’

Danish veteran animator Jannik Hastrup returns to Generation to present the fourth big screen adventure of matchbox-sized heroine Cirkeline. Once again we are taken on a journey: this time in the company of Princess Coco and a temperamental baby rhino. They both want to return to their homeland somewhere in Africa. Without further ado, Cirkeline and her mouse friends decide to go with them – each with their own unique ideas about the continent in tow. Do chocolate bars grow on trees over there? Is there enough cheese in Africa? Will the little rhino find his mother? Hastrup has created a vibrant, colourful world, once again showing that travelling can open your eyes – and that you may also end up in a completely different place than you expected.
