Annabell's Spectacularities (2014)
A playful musical adventure about little Annabell Olsson, who is older than 7 but younger than 11. She has three little triplet siblings, who mostly just cause trouble, and a grandmother, who is the source of more adventure than Annabell realizes. There is a book at her grandmother’s country house that contains an unfinished story – a story about a wizard who turned himself into a glass of lemonade and then drank himself up. For over 70 years, Grandma has been thinking about how that could have happened and how the wizard might be turned back into himself. Now it’s up to Annabell to try and help her grandmother help the wizard, and thus bring the story to an end.
