Room on the Broom

My 2 year old girl loves it so much. It's the type of movie you sit down with your child and just enjoy together. Funny, clever, very well made and just overall joyful.

I absolutely love this kids short film! It's made so well and tells such a sweet story of a kind witch and her cats encounters with 3 other animals looking for acceptance. The dragon can be a bit scary for the wee ones (5 and under) but all in all it's truly fantastic.

Obviously they had to pad out the book to make an animation of reasonable length. Most of the additions are good.. eg. presenting the dragon early and seeing him periodically adds some suspense and might have actually made the book better Other things though don't add anything and draw things out too much making it a chore to watch repeatedly with a child, eg. when they are washing, when they get separated from the witch and various other small throw-away sequences add a good five minutes to the duration Anyway, still good. The vocal performances and music are nice

The witty words of Julia Donaldson and the wonder of Magic Light Pictures once again give us a delightful film. Brought to life by a treasure of voice talents from Britain's best (Gillian Anderson, Simon Pegg, Ron Braydon, Timothy Spall, Martin Clunes, Sally Hawkins, David Walliams) and the brilliant musical characterizations of Rene Aubrey, the story garners critical and award attention (Oscar, Cristal, Annie, Magnolia, TIFF). I give this film an 8 (delightful) out of 10. {Family Animation}
