Sit back and enjoy one of a series of family friendly films as part of our Family Flicks Collection. Bring the kids and relax in our child-friendly theatre – the lights will be dimmed to allow for feeding and moving about and you’ll be in the company of other families so no need to worry about those unexpected tantrums! Babies, toddlers and children of all ages welcome. Change facilities available.

The Angel and the Soldier Boy, the first in our series of Family Flicks, will screen daily during the school holidays at 10:45am, 1pm and 2:45 pm and is also available on demand for pre-booked groups. Contact our Public Programmes Team for more information on (03) 3439 504 or programmes@airforcemuseum.co.nz

The Angel and the Soldier Boy: A 25-minute animated film based on the prize-winning picture book without words by Peter Collington.

Ages 3 and upwards.

For her birthday a little girl is given a pink piggy bank, a shiny new coin, a picture book about pirates and two tiny dolls - an angel and a soldier boy. While she sleeps, the pirates jump out of the picture book and steal the coin in her piggy bank. The noise wakes the Soldier Boy who chases after them, but he is overpowered and taken prisoner. The Angel sets off bravely to rescue her hero and we follow their adventures, out to sea and back again, as they retrieve the coin and bring it safely home to the little girl.

"The animation is superb... ideal for younger viewers" -The Independent
"This captivating package will enchant both parents and toddlers" -Variety
