Benjamin Blümchen is a fictional elephant who first appeared as a radio-theatre
character in the original German version of the franchise. The character was
later adapted into an animated series, which was released in 1988. The franchise
then expanded into other media, including the video games Benjamin Blümchen: Ein
verrückter Tag im Zoo (2001) and Benjamin Blümchen: Ein Tag im Zoo (2009).
Produced by Kiddinx, the radio-play series ranks among the most successful in
Germany.
