Official Trailer for ‘Magic Beach’ Movie Featuring 10 Animated Stories

“At our magic beach, wild white horses are thundering past… plunging & prancing and tossing their heads then fading away on the sand.” Madman Films in Australia has unveiled a lovely official trailer for Magic Beach, an anthology feature film bringing to life the wonderful story from the illustrated children’s book of the same name. Alison Lester’s much-loved book is reimagined for the screen through a unique mix of live action entwined with extraordinary animated stories from ten leading Australian animators. This premiered at the 2024 Melbourne Film Festival and debuts in Australian cinemas in early 2025. Magic Beach, based on Alison Lester’s book, features nine children and a dog bringing their imaginative imaginations to life. The book’s intro: “Imagine a beach where you can swim, surf, splash through the waves, make sandcastles, hunt for treasure, explore rock-pools, muck about in boats, fish from the jetty, and build a bonfire 🔥 under the stars. Come to Magic Beach, where adventure begins…” Inspired by Alison Lester’s beloved book. There is a nice mix of different animation styles in this – stop motion, felt, 2D, 3D, along with live-action. I wanna see the story with the doggo! It really does look like a truly magical cinematic adaptation of this inspiring story. // Continue Reading ›
