The Munich Mathäser Kino was electric last night as the world premiere of “Das Kanu des Des” (The Canoe of the What?) celebrated its arrival. Twenty-four years after “Der Schuh des Manitu” (The shoe of the Manitou) became a cultural phenomenon and the most successful German film of all time, Michael ”Bully” Herbig returns to the director’s chair, bringing back beloved characters and a fresh wave of comedic energy. The premiere was a glittering affair, drawing a who’s who of German entertainment.

The anticipation was palpable, with over three thousand guests eager to be among the first to experience the new adventures of Abahachi and Ranger. The film promises a hilarious continuation of the Manitu universe, blending slapstick humor with clever satire - hallmarks of Herbig’s signature style.

Adding another layer of excitement, Stefan Raab, who collaborated with Herbig on three original songs for the film, was also in attendance. One song,”Because we are so great on it,” is accompanied by a choreography challenge on social media.

This interactive element is a brilliant way to engage fans and extend the film’s reach beyond the cinema.
