Family Movie Night @ Emerald Hill

Join us at the Emerald Hill library as we watch Mary and the Witch’s Flower – a film from the animators that brought you Studio Ghibli classics such as Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo, and The Secret World of Arrietty!

Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with her Great-Aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest, where she discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years and only in that forest.

Together, the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds and far away to Endor College - a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee. But there are terrible things happening at the school, and, when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her life to try to set things right. Based on Mary Stewart's 1971 classic children's book "The Little Broomstick", "Mary and The Witch's Flower" is an action-packed film full of jaw-dropping imaginative worlds, ingenious characters, and the stirring, heartfelt story of a young girl trying to find a place in the world.

Popcorn and lolly bags will be provided! Please feel free to dress up as your favourite Japanese animation character – Kiki, Chihiro, Ponyo, and more are all welcome at this special school holiday event!

Please note that the film is rated PG. The film will be in English.
