The Thompson family reluctantly moves to a remote part of the countryside. Things look up when the children discover that they reside near an enchanted wood that is home to a magical tree inhabited by several extraordinary characters. And the top of the tree is a conduit to a series of fantastical worlds. Enid Blyton’s beloved stories are brought blazingly to life in this new British family film.
