In the happy and harmonious Arabian city of Agribar,
the population awaits the forthcoming magical Transformation of Princess
Jasmine into their mighty Ruler by means of the Enchanted Throne. Every fifty years, at the stroke of midnight,
as is the custom of this city, a new Ruler of the City, selected from the Royal
Family’s offspring, will sit on this magical throne and be endowed with
incredible magical powers.
Princess Jasmine, while sadly being an orphan, is
much beloved by the people, and while she has doubts about her ability to be
Ruler of Agribar, her loyal servant and friend, Margerina, is always there to
provide assurance and support.
Outside the palace walls, life is very different for
another orphan. Aladdin is a
good-hearted boy who feels he is meant for more than his current profession of
flogging cheap and gaudy merchandise to American tourists. He looks upon the statue of Princess Jasmine
(whom he has fallen in love with) that stands in the marketplace and dreams the
impossible dream; of what it would be like to meet her.
Be careful what you wish for!
The palace is shockingly invaded by Sudoku, an evil
magician with a grudge against the Princess, who has stolen the very powerful
Box of Delights from its Sacred Temple.
With the Box, he conjours up a Minotaur, a terrifying being of immense
strength that overpowers the Palace Guards.
He reveals he intends to be sit on the Enchanted
Throne at midnight, that it will be him
who receives the incredible magical powers that are due to Jasmine. Then all of Agribar, perhaps Arabia itself,
will fall to this will.
Fleeing the Palace, a distraught Jasmine and
Margerina meet a dumb-struck Aladdin who promises to help them, firstly by
deciphering the strange writing on the ornamental brass lamp at Jasmine’s
waist. It’s an old family heirloom she was commanded never to part with.
Upon speaking aloud the mystical words, a
less-than-mighty genie is revealed. Homeroid the Humungous is not the sharpest
tool in the shed, but he reveals the only way to beat a Minotaur is with the
magical Sword of Destiny that lies in the Cave of the Impossible. One needs to travel through time to collect
the Three Golden Boxes needed to enter the Cave. Luckily, his TARDIS can do just that.
Pursued in their own TARDIS by Sudoku and Smeagol,
his oppressed and bullied whelp of a sidekick,
it becomes a race against time to overcome the terrifying obstacles that
stand in the way of reclaiming the Palace from the Minotaur, before that very
fateful stroke of midnight seals their fate!
PETER PAN RETURNS!
It is a sad night for the Darling family.
Having been let go from his job at the bank, Mr Darling can no longer
afford to keep the house that the Darlings have lived in for generations. When tomorrow comes, they, along with their
rather butch but utterly devoted long-time servant Nana, will be moving out for
good.
The Darling’s only daughter, Wendy, a feisty.
thoroughly 21st-first century teenager no longer believes in
anything as ‘silly’ as magic, despite her mother’s pleas to never stop using
her imagination, for with our imagination, ‘anything is possible.’
Alone in her room on this gloomiest of nights, Wendy
decides to try one last time to believe in Peter Pan, the hero of the book her
mother used to read to her as a child,
before Wendy became ‘too grown up’ to believe in such things.
With that restored belief, the incredible happens,
and Peter Pan appears in her room, followed by a rather gangly and insecure
Tinkerbell, who is secretly desperately in love with the entirely unaware
Peter.
Having overcome her shock, Wendy tells her woes to
Peter, who comes up with the brilliant plan of stealing Captain Hook’s treasure
chest from Treasure Island, allowing the Darlings to afford to stay in their
beloved family home.
It will mean a dangerous and epic trek through the
scariest parts of NeverLand; from surviving
being chopped to pieces by Red Indians, to enduring the singing of King Neptune
and his Mer-Men, the terrors of the Swamp of Certain Death, the freezing,
snow-bound homeland of The Abominable Snowman…
And don’t even ask what has become of The
Lost Boys lately!
But with love, courage and imagination, truly
‘anything is possible’.
SINBAD!
When Sinbad, his motley crew of Daniel, Emma and Rupert (who swear they have never so much as heard of Harry Potter), plus Bridget Bones the love-lorn parrot, agree to travel to the terrifying and mysterious lost island of Atlantis to find a cure for the cursed Princess Jasmine, they cannot forsee the trials, tribulations, romancing and dancing that awaits them!
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK
Moody but good-hearted, hoodie-wearing 21st century teenager Jack, lives in a grim London council flat with his Auntie Beryl. It is not a place where miracles are supposed to happen. But when they get a visit from a mysterious charity-collector on Christmas Eve, they have no idea of the adventure that a simple act of generosity will unleash!
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
When spoilt Prince Leo and his castle staff are transformed into various Cat-people by the rather over-sensitive Spirit Of The Forest, only the arrival of feisty farm-girl Beatrice can offer the chance of redemption.
