The story didn’t continue along with the book sequence. The different storytelling mediums became just a bit too much. Stop motion was quite terrible in parts. Other parts of it were scarier than needed to be for young children who have enjoyed a beautifully written and illustrated story- in particular the selfish pirate who became tricked other pirates and they died and became ghosts that haunted. Why did that actually need to be in there?? Walked out with probably 20 minutes to go. Sorely disappointed as it’s a firm favourite in our household storybook collection along with many others from Alison Lester.
