Synopsis
Targeting young audiences, Abracadabra is the story of four children from different continents who team up to find and rescue the sun from the clutches of an evil sorcerer. The film is an allegorical tale cautioning against the dangers of exhausting an indispensable natural resource, here represented by the sun. Frédéric Back has long believed that animation for children should deliver a message in an entertaining manner.
