The Sand Fairy (1992)

Directed by Marilyn Fox

“The classic children's tale where all your wishes come true.”

Adventure, Family, Fantasy · 2h 19m

The Psammead is an 'it', an ancient, ill-tempered sand-fairy with a spider-shaped body, bat-like ears, and snail-like eyes. It is grumpy but has the power to grant one wish a day, which must be made before sunset. Five siblings—Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and infant Hilary—encounter It and experience the highs and lows of frivolous wish-making. A feature-length edit of the BBC miniseries.
