The five Children and it This enthralling children's classic has been converted into blockbuster screens. An emotional adventure tells the tale of five children who when evacuated due to world war one find a secret tunnel in the forbidden greenhouse in their cousins manor. As the story progresses the children discover the sand fairy or `it' buried in the magical beach through the tunnel. 'It' helps the children discover that what they want isn't necessarily what's best for them in the long run. The fairy grants them one wish each day and due to their father being away at war their wishes are often far-flung and drastic, events quickly spin out of hand....

I was really let down by this film. I'm a massive Orwell fan and this film strayed a little too much for my liking. I got the film to do research for some illustrations I'm doing for animal farm. Don't watch this film instead of reading the book for school work because there are some major differences. From an artists perspective I really like how they showed the pigs looking more human and the humans looking more pig like, that was a very clever idea. The CG is quite frankly embarrassing and I realise this was a good 7 years ago but it made me cringe to watch the rat! Who's character was completely wrong. The animatronics were if possible worse. Shame on Henson's creature shop. If you haven't ... Read More:

If you've ever watched the fantastic TV series 'The Phoenix & The Carpet' then this is a very similar story. The book is by the same author and it revolves around middle/upper class victorian children who happen upon an adventure where they are granted a wish every day (or three wishes in P&TC). I don't think its as good but its still great fun, my girls loved it especially the 'Psammead' or 'IT' which is a sand fairy (also appears in an episode of Phoenix). Its a recurring story, the kids get a wish which they rush and realise they have to wait a day to correct the mess they've got into. The story is really heartwarming though and theres a lot of sentiment involved and a happy ending. Great little cameo role for Norman Wisdom too !!!
