Movie of the Week
Playmobil gets its movie
Playmobil: The Movie is the first feature film to be based on Playmobil role-play toys, and features voices by Daniel Radcliffe and Meghan Trainor.
When Marla’s (Anya Taylor-Joy) younger brother Charlie (Gabriel Bateman) unexpectedly disappears into the magical, animated universe of Playmobil, unprepared Marla must embark on a journey to bring him home.
As she sets off on a fantastic journey across new worlds, Marla teams up with some unlikely and heroic new friends – the smooth-talking food truck driver Del (Jim Gaffigan), the dashing and charismatic secret agent Rex Dasher (Daniel Radcliffe), a misfit robot (Lino DiSalvo), and an extravagant fairy-godmother (Meghan Trainor).
Through their vibrant adventure, Marla and Charlie realise that no matter how life plays out, you can achieve anything when you believe in yourself.
This animation was directed by Lino DiSalvo, an American animator, film director, writer and voice actor, who spent almost 17 years at Disney and served as head of animation on Frozen, supervising animator on Tangled and Bolt, and animator on Meet the Robinsons, Chicken Little and 102 Dalmatians.
Playmobil: The Movie is in cinemas now.
