Lotte Reiniger applies her charming cutout animation technique to this early advertisement for the Nivea skin care company.

Among Lotte Reiniger's commissioned pieces are several advertising films for the Julius Pinschewer agency, including: "Das Geheimnis der Marquisin" (The Secret of the Marquise) for Nivea skin cream and "Die Barcarole" (The Barcarole) for Pralinés Mauxion dessert. Other pieces commissioned by Pinschewer (e.g. a commercial for ink) are considered lost. "Die Barcarole" is an unusual take on the "Romeo and Juliet" theme, with the suitors arriving in Venetian gondolas (a barcarole is a musical piece whose measure is designed to resemble the swaying of a gondola).

Three knights go in search of a terrible dragon who holds the secret to relieve the princess's headache.

The Emperor of China hears a nightingale sing, and decides to capture her, yet he fails. So he tries at least to have her call imitated, yet there everybody at his court fails, so he offers a prize for success in this - the marriage with his daughter. Two Europeans hear of it - a Mr. Tri-Ergon (record label) and a Mr. Trichter (recording horn). Both try with their recording devices to cut a record of the Nightingale.

In this animated commercial for the German Savings Banks and Giro Association, a man loses his wallet as he heads off on vacation. An honest finder risks everything to return it to him, then passes on a well-intentioned tip: “Give the savings bank your fare and travel cash-free!”
