A young boy entrusted with a powerful crayon that brings his drawings to life enters his own drawing. The drawing is of the high seas and the artist stumbles upon a wild adventure that takes him and his dog all over the world where he meets numerous seafarers and eccentric coastal dwellers. This six part narrative is composed of episodes of a 1974 Polish animated series. THE ENCHANTED CRAYON uses only sound effects, no dialogue, and is therefore a terrific tool for introducing children to the pop culture of other nations. Episodes included are Message in the Bottle, The Sinking Boat, Shipwrecked, Prisoners on the Glacier, In an Old Windmill, and Monkey's Silly Tricks.

One night, after an argument with her mother (Gina McKee) during which Helena lets fly some rather painful pronouncements, Mom falls ill with an unspecified affliction. As the family waits for news and the circus struggles financially, Helena blames herself for the misfortune. The night before her mother s surgery, Helena is mysteriously transported to a world which bears a strong resemblance to her own drawings, and is populated by strange creatures who follow an even stranger logic. Helena and her traveling companion, fellow juggler Valentine (Jason Barry), sign on to find a mysterious charm which will wake the queen of the city--also played by McKee--from her deep sleep, defeating the forces of darkness and returning Helena home. The film s outstanding art direction is complemented by witty dialogue and some genuinely creepy moments (the words
