Shorts Attack in March 2026

7 films in 88 minutes – with German subtitles

Sheep jump happily through India singing, capybaras befriend chicks, and ducks should not be fed. Small animals hop around in a boisterous parade and dogs conquer the theater stage. Does someone really keep a giant crocodile at home?
