The London International Animation Festival Presents: Little Treasures (U*)
Family Film Club
The London International Animation Festival is back with another special screening for our youngest audience!
We’ve been digging around in our archives and have discovered some little treasures, full of joy from all around the world. There’ll be talking animals, seriously fun adventures and wondrous tales to spark those little imaginations.
Age recommendation: 4+.
Adults can only come if they’re bringing a child, and children can only come along if accompanied by an adult. If you’re over 18, we’re afraid being a ‘big kid’ doesn’t count.
Booking is essential, so please book your tickets before attending.
