Keeping House

1994 · 9 min · Animation, Science Fiction, Fantasy

Lizzie Firkin's house is a mess. The cat sleeps in the breadbin and cobwebs cling to the curtains. Lizzie has no time to tidy up - she is far too busy working at a famous nightclub, tap-dancing and playing the trombone. So one day Lizzie sends for Robin Puckertucker, the Wonder Housekeeper, and the result is quite a surprise to them both.

Directed by Euan Frizzell · Written by Margaret Mahy
