Puffin Rock and the New Friends

Movie · 2023

A beautifully animated Irish adventure following Oona the puffin and her friends as they race to rescue a missing egg before a big storm hits their island home. It is overwhelmingly gentle, with just a handful of brief, mild tense moments all resolved warmly.

A lovely first cinema-style experience for toddlers and preschoolers, and an easy watch for the whole family.
