Synopsis

'It' is a Psammead (voiced by Eddie Izzard), an ancient, ugly and irritable sand fairy the children find one day in a gravel pit. It grants them a wish a day, lasting until sunset. But they soon learn it is very hard to think of really sensible wishes, and each one gets them into unexpected difficulties. Magic, the children find, can be as awkward as it is enticing.

Critics' reviews

"Funny wish-granting story has some mild scariness"

Andrea Beach: Common Sense Media
"Five posh First World War sprogs are despatched to Uncle Kenneth Branagh's Gothic pile in a Devon nook. It's a ghastly film"

James Christopher: The Times
"Only the most undemanding tot will tolerate Five Children And It, a suffocatingly twee and unrelentingly tiresome adaptation of the 1902 novel"

Neil Smith: BBC
