Nanny McPhee at the Westdale

Sensory Friendly Screening in partnership with Centre for Diverse Learners on Sat, Aug 29 at 1:30pm.

20th Anniversary!

Cedric Brown (Colin Firth) is a hard-working widower who can’t spend much time with his seven children, so he leaves them in the care of nannies. However, the children are very naughty and have managed, with pride, to scare the past seventeen nannies away. Running out of options, Mr. Brown listens to a mysterious voice’s advice to call for a “Nanny McPhee“. Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson) turns out to be a hag-like woman with a crooked cane and a habit of appearing out of nowhere (though she does mention she did knock). But there’s a secret to her caretaking – she has magic powers, which she uses to teach the children some important lessons.
