Project Detail

The Magic Roundabout

Synopsis

'The Magic Roundabout' lies in ruins; the evil ice sorcerer Zeebadee is on the loose and the fate of the enchanted land hangs in the balance. As a frosty mist sweeps the earth, four unlikely heroes Brian, Ermintrude, Dylan and Dougal step forward to challenge the chill. They must recover three magical diamonds to reverse the onset of winter and return Zeebadee to his prison beneath the ground. Easy, you may say - If you're not a snail, a cow, a rabbit or a dog.

Across the furnaces of a fiery volcano, through the hidden dangers of a jungle temple, over the snow-capped mountains of the icy wilderness, our sub-zero heroes must voyage and survive. The destiny of the world rests on their shoulders. Only through teamwork, friendship and exceptional bravery will they deliver the enchanted land from a frozen fate.

Rhona, a shy teenager stuck on her family’s farm, has a secret: she’s head-over-heels infatuated with celebrity crush Céline. Between endless chores, an overbearing father who can’t stay out of her room, and the chaotic interruptions of barnyard animals, Rhona can barely find a moment of privacy to explore her budding desires. Unfortunately for Rhona, the farm’s chaos - goats, chickens, and her dad’s ill-timed interruptions - makes finding privacy nearly impossible. As her desire to explore her newfound feelings grows, so does her frustration with the farm’s constant meddling. In a series of hilariously awkward and tender moments, Rhona struggles to carve out a space for herself while her father fumbles with how to help her grow up. Life on the farm may be unpredictable, but Rhona is determined to make her moment happen - no matter how many chickens end up in her bed.
