Synopsis
The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) is a British-American family fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Ben Gregor adapts Enid Blyton's beloved book series for the big screen, with Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy leading a cast that includes Nicola Coughlan, Rebecca Ferguson, Jessica Gunning, Jennifer Saunders, and Judi Dench. Produced by Neal Street Productions and StudioCanal, runtime 110 minutes.
The Thompson family trades London for the countryside. Dad Tim is thrilled by his vegetable patch; the kids are not. Youngest Joe discovers a towering tree deep in the woods, its branches packed with peculiar residents: Silky the fairy (Nicola Coughlan), Moonface (Nonso Anozie), and a rotating cast of magical neighbours. Climb to the top and you step through into a new land — different every time you visit. Eldest daughter Beth wants nothing to do with it and is counting the days back to her phone and her city life. Grandma (Jennifer Saunders) shows up with a fleet of iron woodcutters to grant her wish, and suddenly the whole tree is at risk.
Rebecca Ferguson plays the quick-tempered Dame Snap; Judi Dench voices The Fridge, a character invented for the screen. Stream The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) online on iFILM.
