Who
wants to belong to the crocodiles and can sew a badge on the pants, must first pass a dangerous test of
courage. Like Hannes, who is supposed to climb onto the roof of an old brick building, which will soon
be demolished. As he slips, almost all the crocodiles made up of Olaf, Maria, Otto, Theo, Frank, Rudolf,
Peter, Will, and Erich put together, go away. Lucky that Kurt, who is sitting in a wheelchair because of
polio, can watch the events at the window and call the fire brigade without any harm. Kurt gets the
nickname racing driver and soon becomes the hero of the gang. As the shops of the city are repeatedly
hit by thieves, the band must respond...
Language: German. English and Portuguese subtitles are

The Suburb Crocodiles 1977 - Die Vorstadtkrokodile - German film - English Portuguese subtitles
Was soll bloß aus dir warden (1984) German movie
“Was soll bloß aus dir warden (1984)” (English - What should become of you?) is a rare film about children in low society and people who have difficulty helping them. The main character, 12-year-old Boris, lives with an alcoholic mother and her angry boyfriend. He doesn't go to school while his older friends make him commit a crime. Fortunately, a young male teacher takes control of the situation. The class goes on a summer excursion where children live in summer camp and learn many essential things likewise their teachers. This young film does not end in tragedy. I have brought this television film to a better resolution and sharpness, more colorful, translated, and subtitled in four languages. English is my original translation; others were done by translating programs.

Conrad: The Factory-Made Boy 1983
One day Ms.
Berti Bartolotti received an unusual package: a giant canned tin in which a
somewhat shriveled dwarf was crouched. After pouring the enclosed nutrient
solution over it, a seven-year-old child emerges from the can, a boy who
surprisingly and politely says "Good afternoon, dear mother!" To Mrs.
Bartolotti. Konrad, the child from the tin can, initially turns out to be a
real model boy, until it turns out that he was a wrong delivery ...
The movie is based on the children's book Konrad oder das Kind aus der Konservenbüchse (Konrad or the Child out of the Tin) by Austrian author Christine Nöstlinger.
