The image shows five characters posed together in a a pink, candy-floss textured environment with arched doorways. A neon sign in the background appears to say something like "Birthday". Left to right, we see a woman in a flowing green dress with long blonde hair, smiling warmly, a young girl in a red/orange cardigan with blue trim, looking up in wonder, a tall man in the centre background wearing a blue coat with a large white crescent moon headdress and a white beard, a young boy in a teal zip-up hoodie, grinning with excitement and a man on the right in elaborate steampunk-style bronze/copper armour, with goggles on his head and various gadgets and pots dangling from his suit.

About Pay What You Choose: The Magic Faraway Tree

Enid Blyton’s beloved stories are brought blazingly to life in this new British family film, adapted by Paddington writer Simon Farnaby. 

The Thompson family reluctantly move to a remote part of the countryside. Things look up when the children discover that they reside near an enchanted wood that is home to a magical tree inhabited by several extraordinary characters…and the top of the tree is a conduit to a series of fantastical worlds.
