Hocus Pocus Alfie Atkins
Perfect for our youngest audiences, Academy Award winning director Torill Kove’s first feature film is a refreshingly warm and intimate tale based on beloved children’s book character Alfie Atkins. Seven-year-old Alfie dreams of owning a dog, but his father insists that he is too small for such a big responsibility. Undaunted, Alfie finds an unlikely ally in George, a kindly magician who performs tricks for the neighborhood kids and has just adopted a puppy of his own. If magic can make things appear and disappear, maybe it can help to make his dream come true! But it turns out, magic is not as easy as Alfie thinks, and when his dream finally does come true, it is in a most unexpected manner. Lovingly animated with thoughtful, honest character interactions, Hocus Pocus offers an emotionally and visually rich cinema experience for young moviegoers and their parents.
