Quentin Blake鈥檚 Box of Treasures bursts open, as the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra plays a live accompaniment to two wonderful animated adventures.
Young Jack and his sister Nancy dream of adventure 鈥� but they didn鈥檛 expect desert islands, talking parrots and exploding volcanoes. Mrs Armitage is taking a quiet bike ride with her dog Breakspear 鈥� but when you鈥檙e a brilliant inventor, things rarely stay quiet for long. Everyone knows that Quentin Blake spins a fabulous tale, but with Stefano Cabrera鈥檚 delightful music they鈥檝e never looked (or sounded) quite as fabulous as this!
Today, you can enjoy their animated exploits alongside live music from the full 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra. Imagine the whole glorious, multicoloured world of Quentin Blake springing to life while 80 amazing musicians follow Jack, Nancy and Mrs Armitage every step of the way. These two films are part of C成人快手鈥檚 Quentin Blake鈥檚 Box of Treasures 鈥� and now you get to dive right in!
