If you're looking for a family film this winter, why not stick the Japanese adaptation of #TheImaginary (book by me and #EmilyGravett!) in your eyes and hearts. It's all hand-drawn animation and is a big snowball of heart and sadness and spookiness and imagination... www.netflix.com/search?q=the...

Amanda and her imaginary friend Rudger go on thrilling make-believe adventures. But when Rudger finds himself alone, he faces a mysterious threat.
