Wunschpunsch is a /French/Canadian animated series produced by Saban
International Paris and CinéGroupe, inspired by the 1989 German novel
The Night of Wishes by Michael Ende.In every episode, an eccentric old
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 T. 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;
otherwise, its effects will become permanent and irreversible. To make
sure the spells are reversed, Bubonic's and Tyrannia's pets, Mauricio
di Mauro and Jacob Scribble, must seek out 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 manage to do in 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 into the potion cauldron and Maledictus Maggot punishes
Bubonic and Tyrannia for the foiled spell 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 that
it has been five years since it happened). Bubonic and Tyrannia are so
clumsy that some of their spells bring trouble to themselves, and when
the spells are undone, they feel a temporary relief that quickly ends
when Maggot shows up to punish them for their failure.Titles of
English episodesTyrannia and Bubonic make the plants grow and turn
evil.
