Lissi and the Wild Emperor (2007)
The plot concerns a yeti who makes a pact with the devil to kidnap the most beautiful girl in the world. This turns out to be the Princess Lissi, who is clearly the Austrian Princess and later Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria, and much of the film is taken up with subplots related to the court and to the romantic relationship between Elisabeth and her husband. The film is thus a comic parody of the Sissi films.

Sorry, this movie sucks
Memorable, crazy movie
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
This film is a breath of fresh air for German comedy. After watching it last night, i find my self still laughing, if you liked the silly humor of 'Hot Shots' or 'Airplane', this is for you.The animation is on par with (if not better than) 'shrek'. This is a fairy tale Disney can only wish to make, a true 'one for the family'.The jokes are thick and fast, and for the most part, refrain from being crude.I gave this an eight, due to the fact that, Bully is Lissy. The facial features although excellent, are those of a man, and tend to take you out of the film. To have the main character created from scratch would have added that little bit more.That aside, give it shot, you wont be disappointed!
I cannot agree to the previous reviewer's statement! I have been in this movie with a friend and I have enjoyed the movie a lot, in fact serveral times, the whole audience in the room have been laughing! It's incredibly funny from the first "house rules" introduction to the final "The End" "(T)raumschiff Surprise" was indeed ridiculous but Lissi und der wilde Kaiser and very nice and clever jokes through the whole film. It's especially great for people who love sarcastic humour (which I seriously do) =) )It tops even Shrek in my eyes. Hoping for a follow-up to this movie!
First of all I'm a big admirer of bully and his work and I enjoyed watching nearly all the bullyparade-shows. In my opinion he did a fine job with "erkan und stefan" and he showed his fabulous directing skills in "Schuh des Manitu"."(T)raumschiff surprise" was a kind of disappointment for me, because despite of the excellent special effects it was a step back. The gay characters with that nerving gay-voice were hard to identify with, so the poor plot became even worse."Lissy" is the worst part of the trilogy, even if the animation and the character designs are really Hollywood-like and can definitely compete with "Shrek" or most of the Pixar-flicks. the wordplays don't work out at all, the story is so lame and predictable and most of all not funny and the humor doesn't work beyond simple slapstick. the most important problem, same as "(T)raumschiff surprise", is the fact, that you can not anticipate with Lissy, always having in mind that it's Bully, trying to imitate a woman.There was only one time I laughed and it was right in the beginning when the film-piracy text is shown.I'm looking forward to Bully making live action movies without the "bullyparade" characters. He's a really good filmmaker!
I saw this in German today and be warned - the jokes are fast and furious. I think it could well be impossible to get them all - there are that many.I laughed and laughed - starting with the little introduction right through to the end. The characters' voices were some of the best I've heard - fantastic delivery. And the puns! I've only just realised who the two hunters were meant to be parodying - the two pirates from Pirates of the Caribbean (Mackenzie Crook/Cook and the one with the beard). Visual jokes, slapstick, gags. Very funny.If you're in a bit of a bad mood - go for it. I did and I didn't regret it.
