Directed by Iain Softley and stars Brendan Fraser, Eliza Bennett, Paul Bettany, Helen Mirren, Andy Serkis and Jim Broadbent. It is based on the novel with the same name by Cornelia Funke.
Mo Folchart is a father who possesses a secret ability to bring characters from books to life when he reads them aloud. But when Mo accidently brings a power hungry villain from a rare children’s fable to life, the villain kidnaps Mo’s daughter and demands Mo bring other evil fictional characters to life. In an attempt to rescue his daughter, Mo assembles a disparate group of friends-both real and magic-and embarks on a journey to save her and set things right.
