Deep in the Heart of the Forest, or Catwalk Confessions? The Time-Honored Tale of "The Enchanted Academy 3"
If you’re new to the enchanting universe of "The Enchanted Academy," let's catch you up: Students of Winterstein Academy are entrusted with magical creatures to guide them on their journey. In part three, Ida (Emilia Maier), determined to protect the local forest scheduled for the upcoming Forest Day, rallies her classmates in preparation for their performance. To Ida's surprise, self-centered heartthrob Helene (Emilia Pieske) becomes surprisingly enthusiastic about the forest event. With dreams of fame and fortune, she sets her sights on exclusive reports from a designer’s fashion show occurring at the Natural History Museum.
The Layered Lifespan of Helene
Helene first appeared in the first two films as the school's resident diva. In "The Enchanted Academy 3," she gets the opportunity to reveal a more nuanced character, venturing beyond her insatiable craving for attention. Facing hardship as her parents face bankruptcy and the prospect of leaving the city, Helene has more than fame on her mind. Furthermore, she contends with the demands of her magical companion, the sophisticated Parisian cat Karajan, who is accustomed to luxury beyond belief.
New to the roster is Silas (Luis Vorbach), a passionate dinosaur enthusiast and suitor to Helene. Wanting to impress her, he embarks on a daring theft, with the help of his magical crocodile companion Rick.
Other familiar faces include headmaster Heribert Siegmann (Justus von Dohñanyi), Mortimer (Milan Peschel), Elvira (Marleen Lohse), and a new headmistress, Miss Cornfield (Christina Große), replacing Nadja Uhl due to scheduling conflicts. Adding some humor to the mix is Meltem Kaptan as the museum director and YouTuber Freshtorge.
In part three, Ralf Schmitz lends his voice to the cat Karajan, while Felix Kramer voices the crocodile Rick. The established voices of Rick Kavanian, Axel Stein, Max von der Groeben, Katharina Thalbach, and Sophie Rois continue to contribute.
Continuation of the Magic: The Genesis of "The Enchanted Academy"
This tale of magic and childhood wonder is grounded in the stories of Margit Auer. Her children's books, written since 2013, have consistently stood among the yearly Spiegel’s bestseller list for children's literature. To date, the series comprises over 15 books and is translated in more than 25 languages, with spin-offs, "Finally Holidays" boasting nine books and "The School for Magical Creatures Investigates" with six books specifically designed for beginner readers. So, with new adventures to be had, prepare yourself for "The Enchanted Academy 4" gracing the big screen on October 2, 2025.
