Words Chloe Howard

Dealing with a hard time in her life, young Bea develops an interesting coping mechanism – the ability to see all of the imaginary friends created by children. The only problem? The kids have all grown up and left their imaginary friends behind.

Discovering a world that has to be believed to be seen and now only the second person who can see the make-believe friends, Bea becomes an unlikely sidekick to Ryan Reynolds’ Cal. Like any film starring the Deadpool star, expect the classic sarcastic wit as he and Bea set out together to save the IFs by finding them new friends. Only this time, it’s much less martial arts and a lot more family friendly fun.

A banana with no pants, a fluffy unicorn, the invisible Keith, and pretty much anything a child could imagine, get ready to encounter all manner of IFs on this fantastical journey. The most notable of them all is Blue. Voiced by Steve Carell, he’s a big, fluffy lump of a friend who’s sure to warm some hearts.

Join the unbelievably starry cast of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Maya Rudolph, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Sam Rockwell, and more – in shapes, sizes, and colours you’ve never seen them before – as you make some unforgettable new friends!

Friendly Faces

We’ve seen many imaginary faces through the years but some of them hold a special place in our hearts.

Wilson

Cast Away on a remote island, the only companion for Tom Hanks’ Chuck is a silent but thoughtful volleyball. An emotive friend – maybe even his best performance to date.

Gusteau

Haven’t we all imagined what it would be like for our favourite celebrity to be our friend? Ratatouille sees Remi take this to new heights when he befriends the ghost of his celebrity chef idol to learn important lessons in life and cooking.

Bing Bong

Inside Out introduces a well-dressed pink elephant who’s made entirely of candy floss and cries candy tears. The poster-friend for a toddler’s make-believe bestie.
