News The Magic Faraway Tree The Magic Faraway Tree Trailer Brings Enid Blyton’s Classic Fantasy Book to Life There are more than a few laughs in store as well in this very British film By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on December 3, 2025 Screenshot: ONE Media Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: ONE Media The fantasy adventure movie The Magic Faraway Tree has its first trailer, and in it we see a father played by Andrew Garfield and a mother played by Claire Foy move their family to a farm in the woods where their three children—Joe, Beth, and Fran—have trouble adjusting because of the lack of Wi-Fi. The woods near the farm, however, are magical! And Fran first travels there and meets loads of magical beings, including Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan, Sweet Tooth’s Nonso Anozie, and Baby Reindeer’s Jessica Gunning. The trailer, released today, also includes some quick shots of Rebecca Ferguson (Dune and Silo) as the dubious Dame Snap, and sees the other children get in on the magical action as they visit different magical lands. The movie is based on the popular children’s books by Enid Blyton that were originally published between 1939 and 1951. They’ve been updated since then, as they have in this film, given that Wi-Fi wasn’t really a thing 80 or so years ago. The trailer today looks delightful and, in my opinion, bodes well for the film. What also bodes well for the movie is that the script comes from Simon Farnaby, the co-writer of Paddington 2, so expectations are high for this one. Fatherhood filmmaker Ben Gregor also directed, which is another sign in the film’s favor. There isn’t currently a release date for The Magic Faraway Tree in the United States, though fingers crossed we’ll be able to see it in theaters soon. In the meantime, check out the trailer below.
