Wonder Park

Wonder Park is a heart-warming and visually stunning animated adventure film which hit the big screen in 2019. The film boasts an impressive cast with unforgettable performances by Sofia Mali, Jennifer Garner, Ken Hudson Campbell and a host of other talent on this spirited and imaginative adventure filled with fun, laughs, and a fair share of sentimental moments.

The animated movie tells the amazing tale of a highly creative and inventive young girl named June Bailey (voiced by Sofia Mali in her youthful version, while Brianna Denski voices the adolescent version). June possesses a truly remarkable imagination that knows no bounds, creating an astonishing amusement park named Wonderland populated by her incredible and perky creations. These creations are fantastic talking animals that are as brightly quirky as they are endearing.

Curiously, her creations are not just figments of her imagination, but also come to life in this delightful story. There’s Boomer, a big blue bear voiced by Ken Hudson Campbell who enthusiastically welcomes visitors to the park, Greta, a wild boar voiced by Mila Kunis who serves as the park's de facto manager, Steve, a porcupine voiced by John Oliver who is the park's safety officer and has a crush on Greta, and Peanut, a monkey voiced by Norbert Leo Butz who has the magical ability to create rides by listening to June's mother's voice in a small handheld device.

June’s mother, voiced by Jennifer Garner, encourages June’s creativity and plays a vital role in imbuing the story with its touching soul, teaching her that imagination and creativity are things to be celebrated. However, real life poses challenges that lead to June shutting away her beloved Wonderland in a box and her lively imagination alongside it. But the magic of this tale rekindles when June stumbles upon her imaginative world in a real-life forest, albeit fading and facing a swarm of dark clouds and mischievous plush chimpanzombies who love chaos and mischief.

With a resurgent belief in her inventive prowess, June teams up with her lovable creations to save Wonderland from these difficulties. This mission involves June rediscovering her confidence, enthusiasm, and the value of never letting go of her dreams and imagination even when faced with life’s adversities.
