The Land of Sometimes arrives in UK cinemas on 20th March. A musical fantasy from the producers of Toy Story and How to Train Your Dragon, the film stars Ewan McGregor, Helena Bonham Carter, Alisha Weir and Asa Butterfield.
The Land of Sometimes follows the story of brother and sister, Alfie and Elise, who embark on a magical adventure on The Land of Sometimes.
The children in this story get a chance to tap into their hidden adventurer when their mum reveals a secret to them, one she was meant to hold onto until winter: their father left them an ancient watch with a rare power.
Guided by the owner of the magic watch, the two brothers have no choice but to explore and discover the enchanting world of the magic land. But magic comes with challenges and challenges in this emotional journey bring home the real meaning of what a sibling love is.
This tale appeals to all young souls, not just because it is a story of a magical and fascinating world but it is also an emotional journey packed with gentle life lessons along the way. We all have wishes, but be very careful of what you wish for! Choose wisely the people you surround yourself with, beware of the consequences and think hard about what really matters.
”Sometimes is there, but sometimes is not.”
The Land Of Sometimes, is not just a captivating animated adventure adaptation of Francesca Longrigg’s beloved original audiobook but it is also a wise fable peppered with memorable lines that could stay with you for years to come. Just like the ones many of us still carry from the Disney classic films we grew up with.
The spirit of childhood classics can also be felt in its brand-new musical score and original songs from three-time Academy Award® winner Tim Rice. Known globally for his iconic work on some of the most celebrated musicals and animated features like the lyrical drama of Evita, the vibrant magic of Disney’s Aladdin, and the epic grandeur of Disney’s The Lion King.
Adding a striking layer of sophistication, the legendary Helena Bonham Carter lends her luminous voice to Mediocris, a character whose cunning intelligence is as sharp as the advice she imparts. While the wizardly animation captures the hearts of the little ones, the spellbinding musical score and deeply resonant themes offer a transcendent experience for adults looking to reconnect with the magic of their own childhood.
The Land of Sometimes is a vibrant celebration of imagination that proves some stories truly are for everyone. Come and see it at selected cinemas from 20th March. Tickets are now on sale here.
