We discuss Return to the Hundred Acre Wood and Wishing for Tomorrow, and enjoy wonderful new animated movie Up.
The Quick Review
David Benedictus does a good pastiche of AA Milne in The Return to the Hundred Acre Wood. Christopher Robin is back from school, and a summer of gentle adventures begins. Fans of the originals should enjoy this new take on the characters, complete with charming illustrations. Age 6+.
Hilary McKay’s Wishing for Tomorrow picks up where Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A Little Princess ends. All little girls (and their mothers) left wanting more at the end of the classic tale will be delighted by this subtly modern sequel. Age 8+.
Up. Pixar’s latest masterpiece. Uplifting, uproarious, uppermost film of the year… Go see, and add your own superlatives. Age 3 to 93.
