Elation in Neustadt: by the means of a little witching, Bibi Blocksberg saved two kids from burning to death. While her mother Barbara, a witch of flesh and blood herself, is very proud of her daughter, father Bernhard, overworked and stressed, disapproves greatly of her supernatural antics. Then Bibi gets a message from Walpurgia, the senior witch: she is going to receive her crystel ball, that will make a "real" witch of her, early. Proudly, Bibi jumps up her broom to fly to the Blocksberg, the witches' headquarters. But Rabia, one of the few evil witches, aging in misery and with a secret, begrudges her all the glory...and her youth. And so Rabia sets off events that will soon make Bibi's life fall into pieces.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bibi Blocksberg is a German cultural institution—this film came after 20 years of audio dramas and a cartoon series that defined millennial childhoods across Europe.
Corinna Harfouch (Rabia) played Hitler's secretary in 'Downfall' the same year—range absolutely unhinged.
