Enchanted Cinema Presents: Enchanted Creatures and How to Become One

Enchanted Cinema is back! This interactive show celebrates the 100th anniversary of Lotte Reiniger’s The Adventures of Prince Achmed - the oldest surviving animated feature film in the world – bringing her magical animated tales to life. 

With dancing frogs, a blue-grassing grasshopper, and a mystical flying horse, cinema becomes something you can hear, feel and play. 

Using hands, voices and unique sounds audience members transform into enchanted creatures, discovering their own voice before joining together to animate the screen and adding rhythm, music and effects to every story.

This magical, interactive cinema event is an unforgettable experience for ages 5+. 

Enchanted Creatures & How to Become One is a tour of South England & Scotland with the support of BFI, awarding National Lottery Funding.

FAQs 

Does every child get to do something?

If they want to – yes! Just make sure we know if you need a sound FX/ instrument by raising your hand.  

My child might not want to join in.

No problem at all! Many children like to sit back and watch or join in with bits and bobs. It’s very much a team effort so they shouldn’t feel too much on the spot if they do or don’t join in.  

My child has additional needs.

Our shows are very inclusive and kids with additional or SEND enjoy them a lot. Shows have several noisy parts, in case this helps.  

Can my child try out instruments if they didn’t get a chance to? 

Yes! At the end (and given time), we warmly invite children up to stage to try out different instruments.  

Can I take photos?

Phones off and tucked away please, but please feel free take pics of your child with instruments at the end.
