The show.
Animated film based on the wonderful children's picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The story of 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. A magical tale about friendship and family from Magic Light Pictures, the producers of the hugely successful The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child.
our take
“Room on the Broom is a beautiful example of kindness rewarded — the witch's generosity toward strangers is modeled without preachiness, and her friends return the favor when she needs help. The pacing is gentle, the rhyming dialogue supports language development, and the animation is warm and expressive. A treat for the whole family.”
