Everyone knows you can have any and all in your wardrobe. Beneath prickly wool coat sleeves that sometimes move like arms, among scarves carrying mom’s scent, and next to a forgotten beach bag that happily strews sand around. The magic wardrobe knows how to keep secrets, bring joy, frighten a bit, and lip into adventures together. The five episodes of The Magic Wardrobe takes us to the world where, for the youngest viewers, everything sparks curiosity and is worthwhile.
