Convinced that he can spread the joy of Christmas and against the advice of Sally\, a caring and clever ragdoll\, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters – Lock\, Shock\, and Barrel – to kidnap Santa Claus. But Jack’s merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere. The film is rated “PG.” \nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:My First Ballet: The Little Mermaid
DESCRIPTION:A spellbinding story set under the sea. \nMermaids\, magical sea creatures\, and a wish: discover one of the world’s favourite fairytales reimagined for ballet in this spellbinding adaptation of The Little Mermaid. \nWith a few extra magical twists and turns\, this delightful family adventure is based on the original Danish story written by Hans Christian Andersen almost 200 years ago. It follows the treasured tale of our young mermaid heroine who falls in love with a human Prince and faces an impossible decision: is love worth the risk? \nAudiences of all ages will enjoy a parade of well-known and exciting new characters\, including the courageous Little Mermaid\, captivating Prince\, a wicked Sea Witch\, and two slippery eels. The familiar storyline of the shipwreck and rescue\, spells and sacrifices\, and the journey of falling in love\, is beautifully revealed in an underwater wonderland. \nWith sublime music by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius as a nod to the original story’s Scandinavian heritage\, this Australian production premiered in 2023 to critical and audience acclaim. Choreographed by the renowned Paul Boyd and with wonderful narration by Sarah McIntosh\, Queensland Ballet’s The Little Mermaid was created with children in mind and sits within their popular My First Ballet series. \nFIND OUT MORE
