Ten-year-old Trenk, peasant and property of evil Sir Wertolt, wants to become a knight and free his family. His sword may be heavier than himself, but with unflagging practice, he's soon ready to take on terrifying dragons and save damsels in distress - before conquering their hearts! "Trenk, the Little Knight' is the highly anticipated new animated feature from the producers of "Lilly The Witch." Set in the Middle Ages, it features marvelously drawn and colored backdrops along with storylines whose castles, tournaments and courtly society convey a realistic, authentic depiction of medieval life. It tells the deeply moving story of a young boy who must learn what heroism and courage are before he rises from lowly peasant to shining knight. Based on the bestselling books by Kirsten Boie.

&quot;Der kleine Ritter Trenk&quot; or &quot;Trenk, the Little Knight&quot; is a German animated movie released in 2015, so still fairly recently. For writer Gerrit Hermans it was the second full feature film and he has been really prolific in recent years, has a new film in theaters too these days. Lots of live action stuff in his films, but all these include animated characters too to some extent. The director is Anthony Power and as you may have guessed from the title already he has worked on international projects too and enjoyed a pretty long career in the industry until now. And their collaboration here may have resulted in a contender for best career work I think. It may not be a great movie, but it is fun to watch the characters from start to finish and we also get some funny quotes and decent interactions. And the best thing is that this film exactly has what you would expect from a knight-themed medieval movie with kings, dragons, damsels in distress and honestly a pretty nice message on gender equality that is charmingly delivered here. No surprise that established actors like Prahl and Zeiler wanted to be a part of this. So yeah, it is pretty enjoyable overall. Animation is fine too and the positive here is all in all certainly far mor frequent than the negative, especially as the latter is basically non-existent. I recommend this one to everybody who likes animation, also outside Germany, to the young and the young at heart. I&#39;d have watched it perhaps in a theater too if it had played anywhere near me back then, but I think it didn&#39;t. So yeah, see this one. A simple story (with a nice Prince/Pauper reference) executed nicely.

Trenk, the Little Knight

Unknown someone starts to talk to the Middle Ages as the background.The film is the story of a ten - year - old boy Trenk to become a knight to free his family from Bertolt who has unscrupulous hands. This excellent book should be read to all the children were born into a movie. It is a series of best-selling original works of German artist Kirsten-Boie. And the veteran director Anthony Power took the megaphone This beautiful animation holds the courage and commitment, and friendship. The message that we all have the potential as a trunk and Tekla will get the sympathy of all. Beautiful visuals and music is reminiscent of the films of Hayao. Applaud the courage of TRENK.who starts a tough challenge to keep the family!
