Life is straightforward in Diggington and so are the career paths. Young Mungo (Lizzie Waterworth) is due to become another in a long line of family miners, working down the town’s famous gold mine. Except Mungo doesn’t want to go underground, he wants to reach for the sky and become a footballer.

However, his father, Gareth (Tom Turner), is a proud miner and doesn’t want to hear a word of it. So Mungo looks set to fall in line and join his family and friends down the mine. That is until a suspicious accident forces the gold mine to close, handing Mungo an opportunity to try his luck at doing what he wants most.

At the same time, a dastardly gold-obsessed figure called The Boss (Ken Stott) steps in and offers (well, bullies) the people of Diggington into considering selling their suddenly non-operational mine to him.

What will happen to the mine? Will Mungo realise his dream and become a football player? Him and his friends are about to find out – and go on the adventure of a lifetime while doing it.

Lizzie Waterworth (Horrid Henry, The Backyardigans), Ken Stott (The Mercy, The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies), and Tom Turner (Ready Player One, Beauty and the Beast) lend their voices to this hilarious stop-motion animation that’s fun for the whole family. Showing only at Vue.
