Die Zeitmaschine

Die Zeitmaschine (The Time Machine) is a 60-minute German TV movie starring Wolle, Pferd of Sesamstrasse and its spin-off Eine Möhre für Zwei.
Wolle and Pferd want to help little Emma and her grandfather. Social worker Verena Winkel wants Emma to move away from her grandpa in order to lead a better life in an orphanage. The friends try to thwart these plans in an unusual way, with Wolle building a time machine to change the past. Accidentally, he takes Emma and Pferd on three adventurous trips into the past: Together they visit the Vikings, a poet of the early 19th century, as well as the Lapuna tribe of Native Americans.
This is the spin-off's third movie, following season 3's Das Geheimnis der Blumenfabrik and season 4's Der Schatz des Käpt'n Karotte, and it is actually part of the show's 5th season. It aired on April 14, 2017 (as a special Easter event), on children's TV network KIKA. For subsequent airings, the film was divided into five individual episodes (all but the final episode reading "to be continued..." as they conclude), to fit into regular Eine Möhre für Zwei airings. The film first aired as a 5-part series beginning November 5, 2017.
The movie was released on DVD on August 18, 2017.

==Notes==
*The film was filmed in Hamburg and its neighboring cities.
*Cast member Nicole Foltys, who plays the Native American Chief's wife, is also a regular crew member on Eine Möhre für Zwei.
*As was the case with the first two "Möhre" films Das Geheimnis der Blumenfabrik and Der Schatz des Käpt'n Karotte, the movie premiered at a special theater screening for cast and crew in 2017, this time at Hamburg indie theater Metropolis. Additional tickets were raffled off through the show's official website.
*Unusual for a German Sesame production, this TV movie includes a specially produced animated title sequence, as well as a closing sequence crediting cast and crew by name.
*The film pays homage to Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale's original plans for Back to the Future, to be using a refrigerator as the time machine, before settling on the DeLorean instead. Wolle and Pferd's time machine is entered and exited through a fridge door by German company Bosch (in this case even featuring heavy cooling steam evaporating from the opened door).
