After captivating children and families for 30 years, Alison Lester’s beloved book MAGIC BEACH has been brought to life on screen by director Robert Connolly and some of Australia’s leading animators.
Take a trip with the ones you love through a unique mix of live action, entwined with extraordinary animated adventures that bring you to a dreamy seaside world where anything is possible. Featuring timeless characters, MAGIC BEACH is a captivating blend of reality and fantasy that inspires people of all ages to feel the sand beneath their toes and find wonder in the world around them.
MAGIC BEACH is a story of wonder inspired by the everyday, it thrills children because they see themselves in the story. For their parents and carers, it is a joyful reminder of the power and connection of imagination. Just as Paper Planes inspired thousands of children to fold pieces of paper to make their own planes, MAGIC BEACH will encourage children to draw, make, animate their own imaginative stories.
At this exclusive advance screening, guests will have the opportunity to meet Alison Lester and hear her read Magic Beach before the film.
Guests will receive complimentary popcorn and water, and a special gift to take home.
