After reading the iconic book by Alison Lester, nine children (and one dog) find themselves on the titular Magic Beach. Here, their animated imaginations come to life. Half live action and half animation featuring a different child's (and one dog's) adventures and imagination. Lester hopes audiences enjoy watching it as much as she does, she said, “I hope people get it. It's very sweet … Every time I watch it, I come out just feeling very happy and relaxed and like it's been a very nice trip to go on”.
