Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Cornelia Funke's 1997 novel, this German production took 15 years to reach screens after development hell. The book spawned two sequels the film ignores entirely.
Felicity Jones recorded Sorrell while simultaneously filming Rogue One, making her the only actor to voice a grumpy brownie AND destroy Death Star plans in the same year.
