I wanted to but couldn't!

Good movie but grossly overrated

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Absolutely Brilliant!

The movie is full of songs some are catchy others are just bad. Many short dresses. Full of fan fictions that caracters make of one another. Memorable kisses.And a LOT of horses. Great for kids UNDER 13.

The film is directed by Detlev Buck (won't say too much about him, those who know German movies know him) and written by Wenka von Mikulicz, who has acted in some of Buck's movies already, and Bettins Börgerding, who has written for TV productions so far only. The result is a movie which is worth taking a look at, also for grown-up audiences.The title song is a bit cheesy, but nonetheless catchy and apart from that you get everything you could expect from such a movie: great horses, friendship, love, betrayal, which is not too severe though, so that your kids can easily watch it without getting nightmares. The main antagonist Kakmann (which you could probably translate as Schitman) is played by Charly Hübner, an actor that I really like, which lifted the film even more for me. He's lots of fun in his role here and especially his singing scene is one of the comedic highlights of the movie. You probably saw him in "The Lives of Others" and probably not in the recent family movie "Parents", where he delivered one of the finest performances from the last year.The concept here is very similar to most kids movies from Germany these days. The child actors are very much unknown and new to movies, but the supporting cast includes some established actors. The formula works again and Buck proves with his 8th movie since 2000 that he is still one of Germany's best and most versatile directors having worked on comedy, drama, documentary and children's movies in the last 15 years.

I got to see this flick at the premiere in Berlin and didn't expect much from it - mainly because i'm way out of the target group for this film. Bibi & Tina is targeted at young-preteen-horse-loving girls, and i am 31 and male ;-)The world is based on the German comic strip Bibi & Tina, which also released a lot of audio-books (or the other way around?) owned by the company Kiddinx. One of the girls is a witch and also has her own brand "Bibi Blocksberg" which is just about her, living at home with her witch-mom. In Bibi & Tina, Bibi Blocksberg is always on holidays at her best friends horse-adventure-holiday-camp, the girl is called Tina. She's not allowed to use her witchcraft there.... but you know how children are.. this witchcraft thing is just too tempting!I Don't wanna spoil the story, but here's why i enjoyed the movie very mucho: Awesome villains, believable heart-touching friendship stuff happening on screen, very good casting in general, happy screaming kids in the movie theater, and the very well produced and written songs they sing in the movie, which gave the whole film a touching deepness i really didn't expect.If you have children: Definitely go and see it! With or without them ;-)
