With their father stuck in the trenches and fighting the good fight, the five kids unearth a fairy in their uncle's lofty mansion. Named It, the fairy promises to make all their wishes come true, with spectacular results. Comedian Eddie Izzard supplies the voice of It, while the rest of the impressive cast is fleshed out by Freddie Highmore (FINDING NEVERLAND), Kenneth Branagh (HARRY POTTER), and Zoe Wanamaker (THE RAGGEDY RAWNEY).

Reviews for 5 Children and It
Its eccentric charms and light humor will most certainly win over anyone looking for a brisk family adventure.
Five posh First World War sprogs are despatched to Uncle Kenneth Branagh’s Gothic pile in a Devon nook. It's a ghastly film
Live this up, a wholesome family film this delightful doesn't come by very often.
