The Water Babies

Film Description

An adaptation of Charles Kingsley's enchanting tale of a young apprentice chimney sweep, forced to work long hours and in terrible conditions at the hands of his heavy drinking and dishonest master (James Mason). One day Tom is unfairly accused of stealing silverware from someone's home. Frightened and confused, he makes a run for it and leaps into Dead Man’s Pool, where he is magically transported to a fantasy world filled with animated creatures.

Here he makes friends with The Water Babies and becomes immersed in an amazing world of adventure and song. Before he can return to the surface, however, he must help the Babies escape a tyrannical eel and a devious shark who are holding them prisoner.
