The Little Ghost is a 2013 German comedy film directed by Alain Gsponer, based on the children's book of the same name by Otfried PreuÃler. The movie tells the story of a friendly little ghost who wants to make friends with the people living in his castle. The story starts on Walpurgis Night, when the ghosts are allowed to roam around freely. Every year, the little ghost wakes up to fly around and listen to the stories of the older ghosts. However, the little ghost is tired of the same old stories every year and wants to learn what it is like to be alive. The older ghosts tell him that the only way to understand humans is to make friends with them.
The little ghost decides to go to the neighboring village and make friends with the people there. However, as soon as he appears in the village, everyone is terrified of him and runs away. He doesn't understand why the humans are afraid of him and meets a boy named Karl who is not afraid of him. Karl tells him that humans are afraid of things they don't understand. Karl takes the little ghost to meet other children, and the ghost realizes that he can only be seen by Karl.
The little ghost is excited to be friends with the children and wants to play with them. However, they can't see or hear him, and the little ghost feels very lonely. Karl tells him that ghosts can only be seen on Walpurgis Night, but the little ghost doesn't want to wait a whole year to make friends. He decides to make himself visible by appearing in photos and videos.
The little ghost's plan works, and the children can finally see him. He plays with them, and they have fun together. However, the ghost's visibility also attracts the attention of a group of villainous treasure hunters who are searching for a hidden treasure in the castle. They capture the children and demand that the little ghost help them find the treasure.
The little ghost realizes his mistake and saves the children by getting help from the older ghosts in the castle. In the end, the little ghost learns that he cannot force himself to be visible all the time, and it's okay to be alone sometimes. He also learns that true friendship is about being there for each other, even if it means being invisible.
The Little Ghost is a heartwarming movie that teaches valuable lessons about friendship and acceptance. The film is brilliantly shot, and the special effects are impressive. The cast, especially the child actors, delivers an outstanding performance. Jonas Holdenrieder, who plays the little ghost, is charming and adorable, and Emily Kusche, who plays Karl's sister, is also excellent.

All in all, The Little Ghost is a must-watch movie for children and adults alike. It's a delightful story that will make you laugh, cry, and appreciate the value of friendship. It's a perfect movie for families to watch together, and it's sure to become a favorite of both children and parents.
