THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE
Based on the beloved children’s books by Enid Blyton, The Magic Faraway Tree is a warm, whimsical family adventure filled with imagination, humor and a touch of old-fashioned magic. When Polly and Tim move their family from London to the English countryside, their children discover an extraordinary tree hidden deep in an enchanted wood. Within its branches live a collection of wonderfully eccentric characters—and at the very top is a gateway to fantastical, ever-changing lands where almost anything can happen. (The Guardian)
The film boasts an exceptional British cast led by Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy, joined by Rebecca Ferguson, Nicola Coughlan, Jennifer Saunders, Jessica Gunning, Nonso Anozie, Simon Russell Beale and Lenny Henry, with Judi Dench lending her unmistakable voice to the proceedings. Directed by Ben Gregor from a screenplay by Simon Farnaby—co-writer of Paddington 2 and Wonka—The Magic Faraway Tree brings Blyton’s classic fantasy world to the screen for a new generation, while offering plenty of wit, nostalgia and heart for the grown-ups as well.
