Neue Geschichten vom Pumuckl (in English: New Stories from Pumuckl) is a German family television series based on the Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl series created by Ellis Kaut. Under the direction of Marcus H. Rosenmüller, 13 episodes were created for a first season, which were filmed in Munich and the surrounding area[1] in the summer of 2022 and were released on RTL+ on December 11, 2023. The premiere was at the end of June 2023 as part of the Munich Film Festival, where the production was awarded the Audience Award of the Kinderfilmfest.[2] From October 26, 2023, the first three episodes were shown in selected cinemas for a short time. On December 25 and 26, 2023, both RTL and ORF 1 showed all episodes on linear television.
The story takes place thirty years after the series Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl by Ulrich König and ignores the content of its largely unpopular successors [3]Pumuckls Abenteuer (1999) and Pumuckl und sein Zirkusabenteuer (2003). Florian Brückner plays carpenter Florian Eder, the nephew of master carpenter Franz Eder, played by Gustl Bayrhammer, who takes over his uncle's abandoned carpentry shop 30 years after his uncle's death and meets the Leprechaun Pumuckl there.
In the new series, Pumuckl is voiced by cabaret artist Maxi Schafroth. Using artificial intelligence, Schafroth's sound recordings are converted into the voice of the original speaker Hans Clarin, who died in 2005. The original voice of Pumuckl is thus synthetically recreated using modern audio deepfake technology.[4][5]
Two voice versions of the series were released in parallel on RTL+. The first version uses Hans Clarin's technically reconstructed voice, while the other version contains Schafroth's unedited recordings.[6]
