About this outing
The Enchanted Cinema invites children and their grown-ups to become walruses, alpacas, butterflies and other spirit creatures, using hands, voices, instruments and ingenious sound effects to form a magical orchestra. Explore the Mexican-inspired animation XOLO and the Wizards’ Battle from Lotte Reiniger’s The Adventures of Prince Achmed. Each interactive workshop lasts one hour in the Pavilion near the Bandstand.
