   Deposited at their Aunt and Uncle's farm for the summer, young Nellie and
    George are playing hide'n'seek in the woods nearby when George goes missing.
    Given that the woods are called Fairy Oak Woods, and the farm is known as
    Fairy Oak Farm it's no surprise to find that fairies are involved with the lad's
    disappearance. Soon Nellie is joining her brother in Fairyland, where they
    encounter many fairy folk, and learn that poor George is doomed to remain in
    the kingdom unless they complete three magic tasks. But what they don't
    know is that the evil Shapeshifter is manipulating the trials to get his hands
    on the magical Orb which holds the Fairies power of youth and eternal beauty...

    A pleasant enough film, this one, from an accomplished production crew. It's very
    much 'for kids' but wider interest is sparked by the prescence of three big names
    on the voice credits. Kate Winslett, Jeremy Irons and Dougray Scott bring a touch
    of Hollywood to proceedings. Supporting character voices are also strong.

    'Faeries' was a Cartwn Cymru production for HIT Entertainment. The director
    and designer was Gary Hurst whose animation credits include 'Funnybones',
    'Testament: The Bible In Animation' and Zippi and Zac, The Toucan Tecs.
    The film was first broadcast on ITV on Boxing Day 26th December 1999.
