SUMMARY:The Amazing Maurice - Drop-in Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Drop-in Film Screening – In association with The Museum of Cornish Life & Mor Media\n10am Friday 20 February (93mins)\nThe Amazing Maurice | Directed Toby Genkel & Florian Westermann | 93 minutes | Animation\, Family | English | Certificate PG \nStreetwise cat Maurice travels between towns\, offering to solve their sudden rat problem. When he arrives at each location he unveils Keith\, a young boy who can play the pipe quite well\, and the rats march out of town to the relief of the townsfolk. Maurice\, along with the money he receives from the grateful town\, suddenly disappears and he resurfaces a suitable distance away to count his earnings along with Keith and the rats! But these are no ordinary rats – they talk and wear clothes and dream of an island paradise where rats and humans live together in peace. All goes well with their ‘rat scam’ until they reach the town of Bad Blintz\, where they meet a book obsessed girl\, Malicia\, who leads them on an adventure to solve the mystery of her town. Adapted from a Terry Pratchett children’s book\, this is an animation all about storytelling. \nBring snacks and friends for our FREE drop-in screening; part of The Museum of Cornish Life’s\, Animate Helston Festival in association with Mor Media

DESCRIPTION:Howls Moving Castle (U) FREE\nDrop-in Film Screening – In association with The Museum of Cornish Life & Mor Media\n12 noon Friday 20 February (119mins)\nHowl’s Moving Castle | Directed Hayao Miyazaki |  119 mins | Action and Adventure\, Animation\, Science Fiction and Fantasy | Japanese (English subtitles) | Certificate U \nFrom the famed Studio Ghibli\, this Japanese animation introduces us to Howl\, a short-tempered wizard who lives in a magical castle with legs that can grow and shrink in size. When Howl sees young hat-maker Sophie being persecuted by soldiers\, he intervenes and saves her – but this makes the Witch of the Waste jealous\, leading her to turn Sophie into an old\, creaky woman. We follow Sophie’s story as she struggles to make her way to the castle to get her curse reversed – while at the same time\, the country begins preparing for a war. A fantastic and imaginative treat from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki\, this is a delightful entry point into Japanese animation whilst also asking questions around the importance of growing and evolving our personalities. \nBring snacks and friends for our FREE drop-in screening; part of The Museum of Cornish Life’s\, Animate Helston Festival in association with Mor Media
