What to expect
When Fran's mum loses her big city job, her parents move the whole family to a ramshackle barn on the edge of a wood. It's bad enough that they've had to downsize, but now their phones have no signal and they actually have to interact with nature!
But then they stumble across the Faraway Tree, meet all those who live there, including Silky the fairy, Moonface and Saucepan Man, and discover magical worlds. Are you ready to visit the Land of Goodies and the Land of Birthdays with them?
The movie features an exceptional cast including Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy as the parents, Nicola Coughlan as beloved woodland fairy Silky, Nonso Anozie as Moonface, Jessica Gunning as Dame Washalot, Dustin Demri-Burns as Saucepan Man, Mark Heap as Mr. Oom Boom Boom, Oliver Chris as Mr. Watzisname, Rebecca Ferguson as Dame Snap, Jennifer Saunders as the kids' ruthless Grandma, and Sirs Lenny Henry, Michael Palin and Simon Russell Beale as a trio of mystical wise men from the Land of Know-Alls.
