Terry Davies conducts René Aubry’s inspired score for the much-loved children’s classics Room on the Broom and Zog, based on the books by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This live music, played by the National Symphony Orchestra will accompany screenings of these two films.
Room on the Broom
A half hour animated film based on the wonderful children’s picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, Room On The Broom is a magical tale about friendship and family.
A story about 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.
Featuring the voices of Gillian Anderson (Witch), Rob Brydon (Cat), Martin Clunes (Dog), Sally Hawkins (Bird), Simon Pegg (Narrator), Timothy Spall (Dragon), David Walliams (Frog).
Zog
A half hour family film based on the much-loved picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
Zog is the story of a keen young dragon who wants to learn how to fly, roar, and breathe fire in his first years at Dragon School. He’s desperate to impress his teacher and win a golden star, but he’s accident prone and each year he has to be helped by a kind young girl who patches up his bumps and bruises. Then in Year Four, he has to capture a princess - can the young girl help him with his trickiest challenge yet?
Featuring the voices of Sir Lenny Henry (Narrator), Hugh Skinner (Zog), Tracey Ullman (Madame Dragon), Patsy Ferran (Princess Pearl), and Kit Harrington (Sir Gadabout). And of course, some added vocals by Rob Brydon.
