As mentioned by other reviewers, this is an absolute classic in Germany. The Augsburger Puppenkiste is famous for its puppetry and many of its productions have influenced children of several generations and still do so today. Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer is probably the most famous production from the Puppenkiste.
The story revolves around a little boy who, in a small package, was mistakenly sent to the small island of Lummerland. Lummerland only has a hand full of inhabitants and all of them are very original and memorable characters. Together with the island's train driver Lukas, the little boy Jim leaves the island in order to find out who he is and where he came from.
Even as an adult it is still very enjoyable to watch and if you already saw it as a child, many memories will come back to you. Even if you are not German, try to find it online and enjoy this piece of German television history.
