Eureka! Classics | A Tale of Magical Adventure, with an ABBA score!

Based on “Pippy Longstocking” author Astrid Lindgren’s famous book “Mio, my Son”, this exciting and fantastical film follows Bosse (Nicholas Pickard) on his journey to find the father he’d never known.

In a mystical turn of events, Bosse is re-united with his father, ‘The King of the Land of Faraway’ and renamed ‘Prince Mio’ before continuing his horse ridden adventure through the Forest of Mysteries.

With the aid of a magic cloak crafted by the Weaver Woman (Susannah York), Mio prevails in a true conquest of good over evil as he brings the Evil Knight Kato to his demise.

Come and join Mio on his exciting adventures and be transported to a magical land of sorcery where dreams come true…
