Five animated short films based on the best-selling children’s books by internationally acclaimed NZ author, Margaret Mahy.

(1) The Three-Legged Cat

(2) The Great White Man-Eating Shark

(3) The Witch in the Cherry Tree

(4) Keeping House

(5) The Boy With Two Shadows

The success of animator Euan Frizzell’s wry adaptation of Margaret Mahy’s picture book, The Great White Maneating Shark, saw four more Mahy tales follow (collected on DVD as The Magical World of Margaret Mahy). Among a trio of awards, The Great White Man-Eating Shark won best children’s short at the Ottawa International Animation Festival. Ray Henwood narrates.

“I’ve always believed that great films can transport kids to places where imagination knows no bounds. Whether it’s sparking laughter, stirring adventure, or simply bringing families together, these five films hold a special place in my heart.

Each one is crafted with care, blending storytelling and creativity to entertain young audiences while leaving a lasting impression. I hope they’ll inspire curiosity, joy, and a little bit of magic for the kids—and maybe the grown-ups too.”
