Refreshingly original.

There's magic in the air and a message in the fun.’ We all love trees'' is the theme song-and the boo-able villain the wicked man with the chainsaw. How’s that for originality? And how refreshing to see genuine children's entertainment.
The Magic Tree is a little gem.
Amid all the fun,  writer director Danny Zapparelli dares to put across a strong green message.
The magic tree is the only one we see in a forest that is being destroyed to make room for a building development.
The hero,  Roxy Foxy and the Crimson Fairy, contrive to save it, with the help of the wizard of course.
There are cuddly and amusing glove puppet animals-snail, crow, French squirrel, owl and rocking Roxy Foxy-who pop out of holes in the tree, a villain of a chainsaw-wielding woodchopper and lots of audience participation.
Allie is a delightful Eyebright and Emanuel Brierley and Arif Javid work wonders as the characters.
And the kids, so close to the action in this space, just lapped it up.
