A double-bill of tot-oriented animations adapted from Julia Donaldson‘s popular children’s picture books, illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

The Snail and the Whale follows the globe-trotting adventures of a lovable mollusc and his giant cetacean chum. It’s voiced by Diana Rigg, Sally Hawkins and Rob Brydon.

In Zog and the Flying Doctors, Princess Pearl, Sir Gadabout and Zog the Dragon make an unlikely trio of flying doctors but demonstrate their devotion to inclusivity by treating all creatures equally, regardless of whether they’re real or mythical. Lenny Henry is among the voice cast of this one.
