Wunschpunsch

Wunschpunsch is an animated series inspired by the novel The Night of Wishes by Michael Ende.

In every episode, a wizard named Bubonic and his aunt, a witch named Tyrannia, must wreak havoc on the city in which they live or suffer a severe punishment from their supervisor, Maledictus Maggot. To be able to do so, they use an ancient magical parchment that, once utilized to activate a spell, said spell must be reversed within the next seven hours or then its effects will become permanent. To make sure the spells are reversed, Bubonic's and Tyrannia's pets, Mauricio and Jacob, must seek for Aunt Noah, an old turtle at the local zoo and head of the Animal Council, for a riddle on how to reverse the spell, which they usually do at the nick of time. One of the episodes, Night of Wishes, is particularly inspired by the book. In that episode, the animals foil the spell by dropping a bell sound at the potion cauldron and Maledictus Maggot punishes Bubonic and Tyrannia by attaching their homes, forcing them to live together. Unlike the other known punishments, that never last enough to be seen in later episodes, this one seems to be permanent and has lasted at least five years (the animals recall it has been five years since then). Bubonic and Tyrannia are so clumsy that some of their spells bring trouble to themselves and, when the spells are undone, they fell a temporary relief that quickly ends when Maggot shows up to punish them for their failure.
