MAGIC BEACH | Trailer

Madman Entertainment and Arenamedia have launched the teaser trailer for MAGIC BEACH, the big screen adaptation of Alison Lester’s beloved children’s book. This looks old and it’s from the director who directed The Dry, Robert Connolly. MAGIC BEACH is a story of wonder inspired by the everyday, it thrills children because they see themselves in the story, and 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. Synopsis: After reading the iconic book by Alison Lester, nine children and a dog find themselves on the famous Magic Beach. They explore caves, build giant sandcastles, poke around rock pools and converse with sea creatures. This is where their animated imaginations begin… MAGIC BEACH brings together 10 extraordinary Australian animators (Emma Kelly, Pierce Davison, Simon Rippingale, Marieka Walsh, Lee Whitmore, Kathy Sarpi, Susan Danta, Eddie White, Anthony Lucas and Jake Duczynski), who have given new life to the classic tale through their individual perspectives on the story. The movie will be out 16th Jan.
