Director: Gabor Csupo

Cast: Josh Hutcherson, AnnaSophia Robb, Zooey Deschanel

Based on a classic cult best-seller this charmer centres on the growing friendship of athletic rivals Jesse (Hutcherson) and Leslie (Robb) who end up creating their own secret, magical world where they reign as King and Queen.

Along with all the trolls, monsters and giants customary for such fantasies we have a message that opposites and rivals can, given the right circumstances, find a loving common ground.

Jesse is the fast star runner, Leslie comes along and just happens to be faster. Jesse is poor and a country boy, Leslie is rich and a city girl. But friendship weaves its magic.
