Frequently asked questions

What is The Illusionist about? Toggle content

"The Illusionist" tells the story of a down-on-his-luck magician struggling to find work in 1950s Scotland. With the rise of rock and roll, his traditional illusions are no longer in demand, and he's forced to accept low-paying gigs in dingy bars and parties. When he meets a young girl named Alice, however, his life takes a surprising turn. Despite his reluctance to do so, he begins to perform for her, and the two form a touching bond. As Alice becomes more and more enamored with his tricks, the illusionist must confront the reality of his own fading magic and the changing times. With stunning animation and a poignant story, "The Illusionist" is a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and the power of imagination.
