The Magic House

Year Published: 1970

Creator: BFA

Description: Two parents abandon their responsibilities: at first their children are happy with this but over several days the attitude of the girl changes. Open-ended film which leaves many possibilities for discussion. Good for values study. Suitable for upper primary and lower secondary levels.

Complete Record: A modern fantasy about children who are down on chores and the family "pecking order". A story that doesn't quite guarantee a happy ending. A provocative story about mutual responsibility in society and the difference between getting what you wish and getting what you want.
