Magical film hit from Bamberg: The School of Magical Animals 3 now streaming!

A spectacle for the whole family! The film “The School of Magical Animals 3,” shot in Bamberg, celebrated its debut on the Sky streaming platform on June 13, 2025. This adventure reached over three million viewers last year, making it the most successful German film in 2024. Producer Alexandra Kordes was included in the City of Bamberg's Golden Book in 2024 for her work, an honor that not everyone receives.

What is the secret of success? The plot revolves around the Winterstein School, where students not only receive magical, talking animals, but also fight to protect the forests. The protagonist Ida (Emilia Maier) in particular wants to draw attention to the importance of environmental protection at the Forest Day. Her friend Helene (Emilia Pieske), on the other hand, has completely different worries: her family's financial crisis is getting in the way of her dream of starting out as an influencer. She is supported by her magical cat Karajan, whose high demands somewhat spoil the fun. Silas (Luis Vorbach) experiences an exciting and amusing friendship with his vegan crocodile Rick (voice Felix Kramer).

Another cinema favorite on the horizon

Sky has another top-class film in its program for June 21, 2025: “Anora”, the film that won five Oscars at the 2025 Academy Awards, including the award for best film. This exciting story about a Brooklyn sex worker who falls in love with the son of a powerful oligarch will also be added to the streaming service that day. The diversity of the new program shows that Sky not only focuses on children's films, but also on deeper topics.

For musical fans, “Wicked” will be available from June 27th, which is the most successful musical film adaptation with grossing more than $700 million. The gripping story about the famous sorceresses Glinda and Elphaba has quickly won a permanent place in the hearts of viewers.

Cinema figures and market overview

The attractiveness of German film is also underlined by current market data from the Film Funding Agency (FFA). This data provides an exciting insight into developments in the cinema market and regularly shows which films are currently popular. Cinema operators and film distributors continuously provide sales and attendance figures so that trends in filmmaking can be easily understood.
