Broesel has to make a Werner animation film but right now he has no real ideas for new stories. Thus he simply draws some stories from Werner's youth.Broesel has to make a Werner animation film but right now he has no real ideas for new stories.

Trivia
At the time, with approx. 4,8 million admissions, the second most-successful German movie - only after Holly - The Movie (1984).

Crazy credits
After the introductory credits there is a faked film tear, the screen becomes white and the shadow silhouette of a man can be seen, shouting 'Bescheid' (What's on!). This cannot really be translated but spoofes a more popular joke of 'Werner', one of which has been widely integrated in ordinary day language in Germany.

Connections
Followed by Werner: Eat My Dust!!! (1996)

Expected more tbh

The beginning scene is one of the funniest scenes ever in any cartoon movie/show. But the rest of the movie just isn't really that great. There are a lot of really fun scenes that make you laugh and the dialects of the characters add to that as well, but a lot of it is just drinking beer and burping and it becomes very repetitive over time. And don't even get me started on the IRL part of the story. It just doesn't work. Maybe it sounded like a fun idea for the production team to try out, but it just ain't it. If you're making a cartoon movie, then keep it cartoon and don't try to squeeze in some weird story about the comic artist or whatever. They should have focused on writing a few more, actually good jokes. Still, ignoring that part, its an enjoyable movie to watch with the family and/or friends.
