Movie Info

For more than 200 years, the Elfkins have been living under ground, hiding from the upper world and avoiding any interaction with the “ungrateful and mean” human beings. But one day, the vivid Elfkin girl Helvi cannot bear the lack of space and individual fulfillment any longer. Together with two companions, the Elfkin boys Kipp and Butz, she climbs up to the earth‘s surface to find her fate. After hilarious adventures, Helvi‘s growing friendship with the initially grumpy pastry chef Theo will remind her and all the other Elfkins of their true purpose in life: helping others!

Critic Reviews for The Elfkins: Baking A Difference

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (1)

Visually palatable but as uniform and monotonously predictable as a Mr Kipling cake...

A kind of Ratatouille-meets-The Shoemaker and the Elves, by way of The Smurfs, this knockabout German animated adventure's appeal feels somewhat limited to the under-eights.

A pleasantly predictable lark that dutifully follows the strict dictates of the kid's animation genre by using high-key adventure to promote positive themes such as reconciliation and understanding.

Perfectly aimed at the youngest of audiences, this is a bright, fun German cartoon that features cute characters and a brisk, simple to follow storyline.
