Film Synopsis
A group of young children, aged between seven and ten, have had enough of their boring, uneventful lives in England. They have a taste for adventure, so with their modest stash of pocket money but no end of enthusiasm, they scramble across the English Channel in a pilot boat and are soon discovering the delights of la Belle France. It isn't long before this happy band of boys and girls are making the most bizarre encounters, including a musical dog. It seems they have arrived in a fantasy world where anything is possible. The biggest surprise awaits them in a haunted castle lost in the depths of an enchanted forest. Here, some incredibly nasty folk have invented a device that can force children to become grown-ups against their will. How is our intrepid gang of heroes to escape this terrible fate? The answer lies on a mysterious desert island...© James Travers
