Ghosthunters On Icy Trails
They couldn’t be more different, the members of the trio that allies in the fight against an Ancient Ice Ghost, Tom (Milo Parker), an easily scared boy, Hetty (Anke Engelke), a professional ghost hunter and the loveable, but pretty slimy Hugo (Bastian Pastewka), a ghost. Will the team manage to save their town from the next ice age? A boy and a loveable slimy, ghost thing team up along with a secret organization to fight the forces of evil. This can work because the ghost’s accent doesn’t make him annoying. There is no North American release date so far.
