Today, Sky Original Film revealed the official trailer for the upcoming animated musical feature, The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland. The film brings the Christmas magic of A Visit from St. Nicholas into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, brought to life by the voices of Gerard Butler (St. Nick), Emilia Clarke (The Queen of Hearts) and Simone Ashley (Alice in Wonderland) and directed by Oascar- and BAFTA Award winner Peter Baynton (The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse).
Based on the best-selling book from author Carys Bexington and illustrator Kate Hindley, and produced by Lupus Films (Mog’s Christmas, The Tiger Who Came to Tea), The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland will be available to stream in the U.S. on Prime Video and to Hulu subscribers from November 15. Sky Original Film will premiere the film on the Sky Cinema platform (U.K.) on December 13. Universal Pictures Content Group is handling distribution.
“Having worked with Lupus Films and Universal Pictures Content Group on this fantastical fairy-tale mash-up since its development, we’re delighted to announce that we’re delivering it to Sky Cinema audiences in time for Christmas this year,” said Julia Stuart, Director of Original Film at Sky. “With an all-star voice cast, delightful animation and toe-tapping original tunes, we know that families will love this animated adaptation of Carys and Kate’s beloved illustrated book.”
Synopsis: St. Nick receives a delayed letter on Christmas Eve from the Princess of Hearts. He and his dedicated team of reindeer set off to Wonderland where they’re greeted by the mean and miserable Queen of Hearts who hates all things Christmas… especially presents! Can St. Nick, aided by Alice, the Mad Hatter and March Hare, show the Queen the true meaning of Christmas and save the day before it’s too late?
Baynton makes his feature film directorial debut with The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland, from an adapted screenplay written (entirely in rhyming couplets) by Sara Daddy. The film also features original music and songs written by long-time Robbie Williams collaborator Guy Chambers and Grammy Award winning songwriter Amy Wadge.
Lupus Films’ multi-award-winning leaders Ruth Fielding and Camilla Deakin produce. Executive producers are Helen Parker, EVP, Universal Pictures Content Group; Gerard Butler and Alan Siegel, G-BASE Productions; and Emilia Clarke, Magical Thinking Pictures.
