Family audiences are in for a spellbinding treat this spring as The Land Of Sometimes arrives in UK cinemas from 20th March, courtesy of Kaleidoscope Entertainment. Packed with heart, humour and show-stopping songs, the animated musical promises to be one of the most enchanting family films of 2026.
Based on the original audiobook by Francesca Longrigg, the film blends fantasy, music and an important message about the power of family — all brought to life by an all-star cast and award-winning creative team.
A Magical Musical Adventure for the Whole Family
At the centre of The Land Of Sometimes are twins Alfie and Elise, whose innocent curiosity leads them to summon the mysterious Wish Collector. Whisked away to a dazzling realm where all four seasons unfold in a single day, the siblings are granted six wishes — but quickly learn that every wish comes with consequences.
What follows is a vibrant, emotional journey through a fantastical world filled with magical creatures, unexpected twists and a timeless reminder: sometimes the greatest magic lies in family.
The film’s musical credentials are just as impressive. New songs are written by three-time Academy Award winner, Tim Rice, best known for his iconic work on The Lion King, Aladdin and Evita. Expect big musical moments and emotionally resonant lyrics that will stay with audiences long after the credits roll.
Star-Studded Voice Cast
The film boasts an extraordinary voice cast led by Ewan McGregor, known globally for his role in the Star Wars franchise and Disney’s Christopher Robin. Joining him is Helena Bonham Carter, beloved for her performances in the Harry Potter series and Alice in Wonderland.
The cast also includes rising star Alisha Weir (Matilda: The Musical, Abigail), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education, Hugo, Ender’s Game), comedy legend Mel Brooks (The Producers, Blazing Saddles), and Terry Jones of the Monty Python’s Flying Circus fame.
With such a rich mix of talent spanning generations, The Land Of Sometimes is set to appeal to both children and adults alike.
From the Producers of Animated Classics
The film also comes from the producers behind festive favourite Saving Santa and animation powerhouses including Toy Story and How to Train Your Dragon — a pedigree that signals high-quality storytelling and cinematic spectacle.
As animated family films continue to dominate the box office, The Land Of Sometimes looks poised to become a must-see release this March.
