Der ultimative FDP-Kinderfilm!

Children's films are often significant vehicles for ideologies. They can instill habits of thought and perception from an early age, habits that are later meant to appear natural, even though they are man-made and politically motivated constructs. Moreover, the filmmakers are rarely propagandists, but often victims of circumstance themselves – ideology is frequently something that happens by accident. A fascinating case in point is the children's film "Knight Rusty 2: The Scrap Conspiracy," released in 2017: The film, recommended for children aged four and up, contains terms like "minimum wage," "balanced budget," "financial crisis," and "government budget." What does this mean? We can see how the prevailing ideology of debt brakes and austerity policies has seeped into even seemingly harmless children's films. It is certainly one of the strangest films of the past decade. Wolfgang M. Schmitt discusses this further in his film analysis! ...`` Advertisement: On August 12th, Ole and I will release our children's book, "The Little Wood Thieves and the Riddle of the Juggernaut"—it's available for pre-order now: https://www.suhrkamp.de/buch/die-klei...
