Opal Dream is the heartwarming family film that Jack Mathews of the New York Daily News declares "will lift you up!" After Kellyanne Williamson's two imaginary friends go "missing," she is suddenly struck by a mysterious illness. Her big brother has never seen these magical playmates, but he knows something must be done to reach his sister. Despite all his doubts, he rallies friends and family for an inspirational journey to find the missing friends. Together, they discover what Kellyanne has always known…that you don't always need to see to believe.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Opal Dream is a 2006 Australian film about the nature of faith and belief with some episodes of illness and violence. The main character becomes sick when her imaginary friends go missing and she thinks they're dead. Also the family is ostracized by the locals when they think the father has poached their land, and the father is beaten up. Older brother Ash has no problem standing up to bullies, and there is a scene where he discovers a rat has been tied to the handlebars by bullies. A few scenes take place in bars and there's a bit of rough language. The film does raise profound questions about what it means to believe in something, and and the transformative power of imagination.
