Magic Adventures of Mumfie

Magic Adventures of Mumfie

Britt Allcroft's Magic Adventures of Mumfie is an animated made-for-television movie and television series created by Britt Allcroft and directed by John Laurence Collins. It is based on the Mumfie novels by Katherine Tozer, which were originally published in 1936. Mumfie is a 'nelifunt', a toy that is put into Tommy's stocking by Father Christmas. On Christmas morning, Mumfie realises that Father Christmas forgot to put his best friend Scarecrow in Tommy's stocking so Mumfie decides to search for Scarecrow.

Tozer's novels were first adapted for television as Here Comes Mumfie, using puppetry, between 1975 and 1976 and broadcast on Independent Television (ITV) in the United Kingdom. Allcroft's newly created version, with an original musical score featuring 26 Broadway style songs, was broadcast on the UK's ITV network in 1994 and has since been broadcast in other countries, including the US (Fox Kids), Canada, Australia, Scandinavia, Japan and Israel.

Mumfie was produced through Britt Allcroft Company PLC, which changed its name to Gullane Entertainment in 2000 when Allcroft left the company. Gullane was subsequently taken over by Hit Entertainment who sold the entire library back to Allcroft in 2008.

On its launch, Britt Allcroft's Magic Adventures of Mumfie received positive reviews, including "a moving work of art" - Chicago Tribune and "gentle, smart and beautifully animated" - New York Daily News.
