Moving Stories – Children’s Books from Page to Screen

Developed in partnership with National Media Museum in Bradford, this exciting new exhibition will showcase innovative and influential film and television adaptations inspired by children's books. All areas of the exhibition will focus on different aspects of storytelling and plots and featured stories include Alice in Wonderland, The Gruffalo and The Borrowers as well as fairy tales including Snow White, Cinderella and Shrek. Many rare and intriguing objects will be on display for the first time, offering visitors a rare chance to see manuscripts, illustrations, storyboards, costumes and film footage. Exhibition highlights include: • Roald Dahl’s original annotated notebooks from Fantastic Mr Fox – displayed alongside puppet’s from the 2009 film, directed by Wes Anderson • Original manuscripts and illustrations from The Borrowers and Mr Stink, which were both adapted by the BBC • A Disney sketch of Snow White taken from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the ground breaking first ever feature film created by Walt Disney Productions in 1937. Like all Seven Stories exhibitions, Moving Stories is playful and interactive, inviting visitors to step into the worlds of film and story on show - ride in Cinderella’s carriage, enjoy stunning original illustrations of Snow White and mix-up your favourite fairy tales to create some hilarious new stories.
