That Christmas is sleighing its way onto Netflix this Holiday Season! Check out the official trailer for the animated film here!
After its World Premiere at the 68th BFI London Film Festival, Netflix is pleased to reveal the official trailer for the upcoming Holiday Season release, That Christmas. The animated film premieres on December 4th.
Netflix has already previously announced that Dermot O’Leary and Jordan North will appear in cameo roles in Locksmith Animation (Ron’s Gone Wrong) and director Simon Otto’s (How to Train Your Dragon trilogy) upcoming animated feature film.
THEIR CHARACTERS
Mr Chop (Dermot O’Leary) and Mr Hack (Jordan North) run the Christmas tree stall in winter, trim your hedges in the summer and spend a little too much time in the pub in spring and autumn!
Produced by Locksmith Animation. Directed by animation veteran Simon Otto (How to Train Your Dragon trilogy). Penned by Richard Curtis and Peter Souter, the film stars Brian Cox as Santa. Fiona Shaw (Ms. Trapper). Jodie Whittaker (Mrs. Williams). And Bill Nighy (Bill) as the residents of a charming seaside town where things turn upside down one Christmas.
SIMON OTTO
Director Simon Otto said:
“Becoming an animator had been on my Christmas wish list ever since I was a child and watching animated movies was one of the biggest Christmas traditions in my family. But never could I have imagined that one day I would get the chance to direct a Christmas film written by the one-and-only Richard Curtis and collaborate with some of the most iconic voice talents. Watching this cast bring life to these heart-warmingly funny tales and infuse them with the magic of animation is truly a dream come true. I hope That Christmas becomes a cherished tradition for audiences worldwide.”
RICHARD CURTIS
Co-writer and Executive Producer Richard Curtis said:
“This has been the most amazing adventure, my first animated film. It’s been especially exciting to see the whole world I imagined come to life beyond my wildest dreams – and populated by a dream bunch of actors, their wonderful voices turned into such rich and funny characters.”
PREMISE
Based on the charming trilogy of children’s books by beloved multi-award-winning writer/director Richard Curtis. That Christmas follows a series of entwined tales about family and friends, love and loneliness, and Santa Claus making a big mistake. Not to mention an enormous number of turkeys! This heartwarming comedy from Locksmith Animation marks Curtis’ first foray into animation, serving as the film’s writer and executive producer.
