I'll be honest that I only went so I could have a picture of me riding Falkor from the Never Ending Story. Although he was in a room in the courtyard and no longer part of the actual tour.
We were there the last week of September 2024. We planned our day around the fact the website stated they offered one English tour at 12pm. Unfortunately, when we got there, they said they had no staff for the English tour. If we had known we could have planned differently. We were able to use the wifi to download their audio tour in English to listen to. It was obvious more information was given in German than on the audio guide. We had a friend with us that knew a little German and told us a few things.
The 4D short we were forced to watch made me motion sick. After that we were taken to a spot and waited 10 minutes while our guide ran off to check on something. We were unsure what that was about. Some of the sets were interesting to walk though but most were from older films and not much current. Aside from the NES, it was mostly German films, but that is to be expected. Our friend had seen one or two for them.
There were a few "interactive" parts of the tour. The green screen one was entertaining and easy to understand. The one of the other ones, even the Germans didn't seem to understand the point. Not speaking the language made those parts of the tour less enjoyable.
