If you may recall from the first teaser trailer for Reinhard Klooss & Holger Tappe's upcoming CG animated adaptation of Konferenz der Tiere (translated as "The Animal's Conference"), it paints a serious tone until the very end when a meerkat pops-up and says something in German with a comedic theme playing in the background. The second teaser continues to go in that route with a gag scene where we get to see some characters interaction for the first time. Here's a rough translation of the official synopsis:
Surprised the animals in the African savannah is: Where is the water? Long it should have come through a gorge from the distant mountains. The thirst is getting bigger, the concern also is small considering that the last water hole of fierce buffalo and rhino defended. The brave little meerkat Billy and the peace-loving lion Socrates pull off to check the water. They...

Cologne, Germany -- The crisis is officially over and its time to party. That was the message Tuesday from German publishing giant Axel Springer, which announced it would again hold its VIP gala the Golden Cameras in Berlin next year. Springer cancelled this year's Golden Camera event -- Germany's splashiest and highest profile TV prize gala -- citing the economic downturn.
The 2010 Golden Cameras will be held Jan. 30. That's earlier than usual. In the past few years, Springer has set the Golden Cameras on the eve of the Berlin International Film Festival, which will be held Feb.11-21, 2010.
German TV stars Bastian Pastewka and Jan Josef Liefers will host the 2010 event, which will be broadcast live on public network Zdf.

Call it the "Borat" effect.
From Belgium to Berlin and Paris to Rome, European comedians are breaking the small-screen/big-screen barrier and turning television fame into boxoffice gold.
Sacha Baron Cohen and his bumbling Kazakhstan reporter, a character Baron Cohen originally developed for his Channel 4 TV show in the U.K., and Rowan Atkinson's comic creation Mr. Bean are the most successful of those making the Euro TV-to-film transformation, but they are in good company across the continent.
"Mr. Bean's Holiday", the sequel to 1997 hit "Mr. Bean", topped the charts across Europe and as far away as Australia during its opening weekend and has generated an estimated $35.6 million worldwide gross. In most European territories, some of its toughest competition came from others segueing from TV to film.
-- In Germany, "Bean" replaced former No. 1 film "New From the Wanker", a comedy featuring local small-screen stars Oliver Kalkofe and Bastian Pastewka.
-- In Italy, "Ho voglia di te" (I Want You), a feature film adaptation of two hit Italian TV series that features a roster of small-screen stars, is at the top of the charts.
-- In Belgium, Flemish comedian Chris Van den Durpel has scored 200,000 admissions -- huge for the territory -- with "A Chicken Is No Dog", in which he plays an aging boxer, a character he developed for TV.
-- Spain's Fernando Tejero went from top-rated sitcom "Aqui no hay quien viva" (Who Could Live Here) to headlining sleeper hit "The Longest Penalty in the World" (2005).
France's Jean Dujardin jumped from Gallic television to film superstardom with a series of hits, including last year's James Bond spoof "OSS 117" and surfing blockbuster "Brice de Nice", and he will star in the hotly anticipated "99 francs". Countryman Jamel Debbouze went from TV comic to top billing in such hits as "Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra" and the Oscar-nominated "Days of Glory".
Then there is Britain, where police spoof "Hot Fuzz" has raked in more than $40 million in its first five weeks.

COLOGNE -- German commercial networks RTL and SAT.1 proved they are still the standouts in the stand up crowd by dominating the nominations for the third annual German Comedy Prize, which were announced Wednesday. The two channels picked up 10 nominations each, all but shutting out the competition. The only other station represented in this year's nominations for Germany's top television comedy award is SAT.1 sister channel ProSieben, whose "TV-Total" picked up a nomination for Best Comedy Show. "Alles Atze", (Everything Atze), the weekly RTL sitcom based on the stand up routines of blue collar comedian Atze Schroeder, led the nominations grabbing a nom for Best Comedy Series as well as Best Comedy Actor and Best Comedy Actress nominations for stars Schroeder and Heike Kloss. Schroeder will also host the German Comedy Prize, which will be broadcast October 11 on RTL. Comedy vet Anke Engelke picked up two nominations for Best Comedian and Best Sketch Show for her SAT.1 weekly "Ladykracher". Up against her in the top Best Comedian category are German-Turkish comedian Kaya Yanar for his sketch/stand up show "Was guckst Du?" (What Are You Looking At?) and Bastian Pastewka for his "Ohne Worte" (Without Words.) This year the Cologne Comedy Festival, the organization which runs the German Comedy Prize, will also present a special honorary award to ground breaking German sketch comedy group Klimbim'.
