The story follows shy book lover, Jane, who is unexpectedly tasked with saving her beloved library from closure, and help arrives in a surprising way.
What a cool and unexpected film this is and it is so well produced with great camera work and audio recording. I really love the actors' performances, especially Alex Stewart who leads as Jane. But Adam Kurton, Tim McGill, Naomi Richards, and the rest of cast are equally strong. Most importantly, it's a musical, with full out choreographed musical performances that are absolutely terrific. We have songs sung by Lawrence Livingston, Sherlock Holmes and more. Kudos to Grace Hancock for her outstanding music and lyrics; they are absolutely delightful. The choreography by Rebecca Melvin Phillips is stunning. The locations are superb, from the library to the park tea party hosted by the White Rabbit, Little Red Riding Hood's romp through the woods, and more. This could easily be expanded to a full length feature film or Broadway show.
The film's message is about the importance of preserving our libraries; that is where the magic comes from in the form of unforgettable characters that live in our minds forever. I give Between the Lines 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
