ELEANOR’S SECRET is an animated movie about a magic library where all the characters from classic children’s books come alive. Nat has fond memories of his eccentric Aunt Eleanor reading to him from her enormous collection of storybooks, but is frustrated by his inability to read the books himself. Just as Nat’s parents are selling the collection to a shady antiques dealer, Nat discovers that the library is magical – the books are all original first editions of history’s most popular fairy tales. In this rollicking adventure a boy’s new found ability to read not only sets his imagination free, but saves the day. Run time: 76 minutes

"The animation appeals to all ages, and parents will appreciate the pro-literacy message at the pic's heart.” - Variety
