The Room on the Broom
A half hour animated film based on the wonderful children's picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, ROOM ON THE BROOM is a magical tale about friendship and family from Magic Light Pictures, the producers of the hugely successful The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child.
A story about a kind witch who invites a surprising collection of animals to join her on her broom, much to the frustration of her cat. The gang ultimately saves the witch from a fearsome dragon, and in gratitude she rewards them with a magnificent new broom which has room for everyone.
Smeds and the Smoos
On a faraway planet, two aliens, Janet and Bill, meet in the Wurpular Wood and become friends. The families, the red Smeds and the blue Smoos, are dismayed at the match. “Never, never play with a Smed!” exclaims Grandmother Smoo, while Janet’s Grandfather Smed says the Smoos are “a beastly bunch!”.
Grandmother and Grandfather have to learn to overcome their differences though, when Janet and Bill run off in Grandfather’s red rocket. The Smeds and The Smoos travel through space together on their search for Janet and Bill. As the two families are starting to lose hope and head back to their home planet, they spot the runaway pair down below in the Wurpular Wood. But they’re in for a surprise when Bill and Janet announce their tiny baby Smoo-Smed, who is purple from head to toe.
