About This Film
Film Overview
We all have a light inside of us. But some of us shine just a little bit brighter. Meet 11-year-old Tony, who literally glows. But when the friendless and unsocialized boy meets young Shelly, his new neighbor at a tower block, he learns that he possesses a special kind of magic that can defeat the darkness.Tony is a lonely boy kept cooped up at home by his overprotective parents who try to hide what makes him different: he glows like a light. At Christmastime, he makes friends with his new neighbor Shelly, who has her own magic in the form of a flashlight with a beam that reveals magical worlds. When a mystical darkness begins to overtake their building and their parents stand in the way of their budding friendship, they will have to rely on each other to bring the light back to their home. Brought to life in inventive stop-motion animation and with an eccentric cast of characters as the kids’ neighbors, TONY, SHELLY AND THE MAGIC LIGHT is an imaginative story of bravery and friendship. —C.F.
