THE ASTOR REVIEW

Whether you’re a child of the 80s, a first time viewer or a David Bowie devotee you’ll be stunned and amazed to see this incredible film now presented in 2K digital format on the Astor’s Superscreen. A young Jennifer Connelly plays Sarah, who wants nothing more than for the goblins to take her half brother, baby Toby, away.

Full of adventure, packed with quality family friendly humour and displaying what are simply the most stunning puppets ever created. TJ
