The industrious Robert Connolly (The Dry 1 + 2, Paper Planes, Blueback) returns with an adaptation of Alison Lester’s classic book, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary in 2025, when the film will be released during the Australian summer school holidays. The film utilises live action and various animation styles, from 10 of Australia’s most exciting animators: Emma Kelly, Pierce Davison, Simon Rippingale, Marieka Walsh, Lee Whitmore, Kathy Sarpi, Susan Danta, Eddie White, Anthony Lucas and Jake Duczynski. Magic indeed.
