The time has finally come: RABBIT ACADEMY celebrates its German TV-premiere today at 6pm on KiKA!

We are incredibly proud and grateful to everyone who has supported and accompanied us on this journey over the past years. Special thanks to our co-production partners SERU Animation, 2 Minutes (France), and FormArt (Hungary); as well as SWR, KiKA, NDR, and HR.

We would also like to thank our director Emilie Rimetz, lead writer Jon Dalgaard, and all the writers who brought the Rabbit Academy to life with so much creativity and passion. A heartfelt thank-you also goes to our funding partners: MFG, nordmedia, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, MEDIA – Creative Europe, CNC, and the Hungarian Film Incentive.

We can’t wait to finally share the world of Rabbit Academy live with you!

RABBIT ACADEMY follows the chaotic yet cool city rabbits Max, Kela, and Chester on their turbulent adventures through a magical world, where friendship, courage, diversity, and self-confidence are at the heart of the story. Published by Thienemann-Esslinger, Andreas Völlinger has created two lovingly written books, now available in the German speaking market.

Both books – “Rabbit Academy – Band 1 – Keine Lehrer, keine Probleme und andere Geschichten” and “Rabbit Academy – Band 2 – Die Talentshow und andere Geschichten” – include three episodes from the TV series. The charming stories are complemented by original images.

A heartfelt thank you to Andreas Völlinger, who also supported the series as a Creative Producer, and to publisher Thienemann-Esslinger, where our little rabbits feel right at home!

The first ten episodes of RABBIT ACADEMY are now available in the KiKA media library and the ARD media library, with additional episodes added weekly. Starting March 27^th, new episodes will air daily at 6:00 p.m. on KiKA!

We can’t wait to share this with you! Before the first 10 episodes of Rabbit Academy become available tomorrow in the KiKA media library for audiences in Germany, here’s an exclusive audiovisual first look. A special treat for our international rabbit fans – until the series hops over to your country, sit back and enjoy!

This wonderful song was brought to life by the amazing talents Kata Kozma (composition), Vincent Baur (composition & vocals), and MVRT (Marta Galuszewska, vocals). Thank you for your love for music and our hopping friends!

Get ready to be enchanted by our chaotic rabbit kids from RABBIT ACADEMY with daily broadcasts starting March 27, 2026, at 6 p.m. on KiKA and on KiKA Player. In 52 x 11minute episodes, you can accompany city rabbits Max, Kela, and Chester on their adventures at a magical boarding school deep in the forest. These action-packed and emotional stories were created in co-production with SERU Animation, 2 Minutes (France) and FormArt (Hungary), in collaboration with SWR, KiKA, NDR, HR, and funded by MFG, nordmedia, MEDIA – Creative Europe, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, CNC and Hungarian Film Incentive. The series was directed by Emilie Rimetz and produced by Akkord Film (Dirk Beinhold, Valentin Greulich). It is inspired by the classic German children’s book by Albert Sixtus and Fritz Koch-Gotha, and the highly successful 3D-animated films RABBIT SCHOOL – GUARDIANS OF THE GOLDEN EGG and RABBIT ACADEMY – MISSION EGGPOSSIBLE.

The series RABBIT ACADEMY expands this universe with a fresh perspective: inspired by the films but faster, cooler, and in cartoonish 2D. We can‘t wait for the world to watch our show!

A great cinema moment on our way to a final movie: The film team happily screened the first final shots of our film GUARDIAN RABBITS – THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN EGG at Hamburg Savoy Cinema. A lovely moment that captures the joy of collaborating on a truly special project with arx anima and SERU Animation.

Business insiders discovered rabbits from our upcoming series RABBIT ACADEMY during MipCom in Cannes! Eyewitnesses sighted them during the world’s biggest entertainment trade fair at the stand of international distributor Global Constellation from where they’re expected to hop onto screens worldwide. We’re excited about the strong presence!

Our SUPER ELFKINS have already delighted young and old alike in around two thousand cinemas in Europe and Asia, the latest appearance being at the San Sebastian Film Festival. Now, they are also conquering screens in Latin America: Colombia’s “National Children’s Weekend” provides the perfect launch pad for the film’s release on the 30^th of October!

Elfie & Co.’s second big adventure is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and on various streaming platforms, such as Amazon, iTunes, Sky, MagentaTV, etc.

Have fun with our Elfkins!
