A magical blend of choreography, stop-motion and live action, Stories from a Flying Trunk captures the enchantment of three classic stories from Hans Christian Andersen. Conceived, written and directed by Oscar-nominated Christine Edzard - and featuring the dancers of the Royal Ballet, choreographed by Frederick Ashton - it is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

The Kitchen contains household objects which come to life and hold an animated conversation.

The Little Match Girl updates Andersen's heart-rending tale to London's East End in the late seventies.

Little Ida is an inspired celebration of dance featuring members of the Royal Ballet.
