Max, Sally and the Magic Phone

Out of sheer curiosity, the ever-popular characters (Max, Sally and their dog Jonathan) from the Czech animated series Mach and Šebestová decide one day to investigate the real world. With the help of their magic telephone, they climb out of Grandma Řeháčková’s TV right into the house where she lives with her grandson Jakub. Because grandma and Jakub know the trio from the series very well, they give them a place to stay and try to be as accommodating as possible. In return, Max and Sally use the magic telephone to whisk Jakub off to see his parents who have been working in China for far too long. On their return they bring with them a new friend, Lin, the son of one of Jakub’s dad’s colleagues, who longed to see something of the Czech Republic. The telephone is well able to perform real miracles, it’s just that it can also, as often happens in the cartoon, create a lot of real confusion. And because the magical device will perform its trick for anyone regardless of their intentions, good or bad, it soon turns Grandma Řeháčková’s quiet home into utter chaos.... This comedy is packed with a plethora of humorous situations sure to please audiences of all ages, while top quality computer-generated effects help dissolve the border between the cartoon world and reality.
