Looking for the perfect family film over the Easter holidays? The Penguin Lessons is a delightful, heartwarming treat for both kids and grown-ups – a gentle reminder that sometimes the most unexpected friendships can change your life… even if they come wearing a tuxedo.
Based on the bestselling memoirs of Tom Michell, The Penguin Lessons tells the true story of a young English teacher working in Argentina in the 1970s who rescues a penguin stranded on a Uruguayan beach, drenched in oil from a nearby spill. He cleans up the bird, names him Juan Salvador (yes, after the hippy-dippy Jonathan Livingston Seagull), and tries to send him back to the sea. But Juan Salvador (the double name is a thing. You cannot call him just Juan) has other plans – he follows Tom home and promptly becomes the most charming uninvited house guest in cinematic history.

On Saturday, 29th March, London Mums Magazine had the pleasure of attending a special screening of Sylvanian Families: The Movie at Vue Cinema, Leicester Square.
From the moment we arrived, the magic of Sylvanian Families came to life. We were greeted by a giant Freya the Rabbit, much to the delight of the children, who ran over for a hug, setting the tone for a truly enchanting experience.
