San Diego's Kid Film Festival 2014 Animated Winner “HOUSE OF MAGIC” In Local Cinemas
The family and
children’s adventure animated movie “The House of Magic” that won Best Animated
Feature in this year’s San Diego International Kids’ Film Festival that was
also nominated at Seattle International Film as “2014 Films For Families Youth
Jury Award,” introduces Thunder, an abandoned kitten who stumbles into an old
mansion.
Seeking shelter from a storm,
abandoned young cat Thunder sneaks into a mysterious mansion owned by retired
magician Lawrence, aka “The Illustrious Lorenzo”. Lawrence shares his fairy-tale world with
many animals and a dazzling array of automatons and gizmos capable of whipping
up breakfast while rolling out a spectacular song-and-dance routine.
He soon makes
Thunder feel welcome, but Jack the rabbit and Maggie the mouse start plotting
to get him kicked out. When Lawrence ends up in the hospital, his nephew tries
to trick him into selling the house. But its ragtag inhabitants develop a
spooky strategy to defend their home. They turn their house into a haunted
mansion, using Thunder as their secret weapon.
Described (www.rottentomatoes.com)
as a unique story with great humor, positive values and universal appeal, Geoffrey MacNab likewise credits the movie’s
Belgian director and 3D pioneer Ben Stassen as a modern-day Georges
Méliès, a film-maker working in Brussels whose animated features compete on
almost level terms with those made by Pixar and Dreamworks.
While Liz Whittemore of The
ReelNewsDaily.com says that “'Thunder and the House of Magic' will put a spell
on the entire family. This film is a heartwarming story of friendship and
belonging, with a soundtrack that makes you want to get up and dance! Filled
with a colorful cast of memorable characters, everyone will fall in love.'
Thunder and The House of Magic' is a joy.”
“The House of Magic” will open very soon in cinemas from CrystalSky
Multimedia.
