Revolting Rhymes

Two 30-minute animated films from Magic Light Pictures serve classic fairytales with a mischievous twist for families and children with music performed by Southbank Sinfonia.

See Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk and Cinderella as you’ve never seen them before.

The first film sees young Snow White and Red Riding Hood become lifelong friends as Snow White takes on the might of the wicked Queen, while Red is called home to deal with a pair of hungry wolves.

One has eaten her grandma and then dressed in her clothes, while the other can’t help himself from eating some unsuspecting pigs...

In the second film, Jack grows up with his heart set on next-door neighbor Cindy. She has her eye turned by the eligible Prince at the ball, and Jack gets distracted by a giant beanstalk at the bottom of his garden. Will they find true love?

With music composed by Ben Locket and Terry Davies, performed by Southbank Sinfonia.
