About this event
Suitable for ages 8-9+ - but not younger.
Mabel, an animal-loving college student, lives with her grandma and has learned the importance of loving nature, particularly the peaceful woodland glade near their house. So when the evil Mayor Jerry says he intends to destroy this glade to make way for a motorway, Mabel realises that the only way to stop him is to repopulate the glade with the beavers and other animals who have mysteriously vanished.
Mabel must somehow make contact with the animals, to persuade them that it is in their best interest to do what she wants them to do. She transfers her mind into a life-like robotic beaver to communicate with the animals, defeat the evil developer and save their habitat from destruction.
The film ‘zaps along very entertainingly’ (Guardian) but is also ‘funny, thoughtful, sweet, making for a heartfelt paean to nature, and beavers in particular’ (Empire).
The film has some intense action, peril, including some scary images of a forest fire, and fighting scenes. It is suitable for ages 8-9+, not younger. It is good for tweens and teens.
