Christmas Premiere

Room on the Broom premiered on the BBC over Christmas 2012. Produced by Magic Light Pictures, the short animated film, adapted from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s wonderful children’s picture book, was watched by over 7.6 million viewers.

The film became a festive highlight following in the tradition of The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child, which are some big footsteps to fill!

The first broadcast was on BBC One at 4:35pm on Christmas Day and received a fantastic reception. Here’s what some of you said:

“…like finding one extra Christmas present under the tree after you think you’ve unwrapped them all – a lovely surprise among the clutter of Christmas Day afternoon telly.”
Rob Smedley, DIY Television

“…the movie was perfect – that slow, captivating rhyme that draws you in.”
Emma, Mellow Mummy

“It’s a joy to watch and my 2 1/2 year old son has enjoyed watching it every day since it was in the TV”
Layla, parent
