Waldo is back in the spotlight! If you can find him . . . Use a paper “spotlight searcher” as a magic flashlight to illuminate six magnificent movie scenes.


Follow Waldo and friends as they wander through film-studio sets and out on location in this sensational search-and-find adventure. With the help of the enclosed spotlight searcher, pan across a variety of movie-related scenes—from scary science fiction to monster fantasy, cozy costume drama to historical epic, sporting glory to a glittering awards ceremony—in search of Waldo, his supporting cast of pals, and more. And don’t miss the bonus features: games, mazes, and searches waiting to grip you on every page. All light-up magic is cleverly designed with paper (no batteries called for), and extra spotlight searchers are available online for printing. So, ready? Places everyone? Action!
Martin Handford spent much of his childhood drawing, and his earliest influences were cinema epics and playing with toy soldiers. After art college, he began working as a freelance illustrator, specializing in drawing crowd scenes for numerous clients. He now gathers inspiration from a huge variety of sources: films, visiting museums and art galleries, reading comics and books, and collecting ephemera and trivia. He is fascinated by crowds and is attracted to their vibes, patterns, and details—especially humor. Gradually, from all this meticulous research, the inspiration for a picture emerges, which he embellishes with his own ideas to create astonishing scenes. Each picture takes many months to draw. “As I work my way through a picture, I add Waldo when I come to what I feel is a good place to hide him," he explains.
