Captain Morten and the Spider Queen (DVD)

Ten-year-old Morten spends his days building a toy ship and trying to avoid the ire of his reluctant guardian -- a mean ex-ballerina named Anna -- while his father is at sea. Morten hopes to one day be a Captain just like him. After a chance meeting with the inept magician Senor Cucaracha, Morten is magically shrunk down to the size of an insect and trapped aboard the deck of his own toy ship as the room around him floods! With a wicked Spider Queen and Scorpion Pirate already on board, being Captain is going to be harder than he ever imagined. Featuring the voice talent of Brendan Gleeson, Ciaran Hinds, Pauline McLynn, Tommy Tiernan, Michael McElhatton, Jason Byrne, Neil Delamere, Susie Power and Cian O'Dowd as Morten.
