Toddler Club: The Gruffalo + Room on the Broom
May 23 @ 9:15 am - 10:15 am
Join us for a Toddler Club double-bill, featuring Julia Donaldson’s famous children’s tales on the big screen!
The Gruffalo (2009) Hungry for some ripe, scrumptious hazelnuts, a crafty little mouse with a big appetite takes a stroll through the wild, dense forest. But, there, deep in the heart of the green realm, formidable adversaries lurk in the shadows, and before long, the poor, defenceless little mouse crosses paths with a villainous fox, an ominous owl, and a stealthy snake. Of course, all of them cannot wait to gobble him up. Can the brave little mouse put his vibrant imagination to good use to persuade them not to eat him?
Room on the Broom (2012) To the annoyance of her cat a kindly witch allows a dog, a bird and a frog who have helped her retrieve things she has lost to ride on her broomstick, making it top heavy. The broom is destroyed by a fire-breathing dragon who threatens to eat the witch but the creatures band together to impersonate a monster and save her. As a result she fashions a luxurious new broom with seats on which they can all ride comfortably.
