06/07/2004
HE’S ONE of the world’s favourite animated characters; a loveable little puppy who has been entertaining children around the globe for nearly twenty-five years. He’s sold 50 million books, five million videos worldwide and now Spot is at last about to make his mark on DVD!
In the first title in a deal signed recently with Penguin Books, leading independent producer Abbey Home Media is delighted to announce the release of 'Spot’s Magical Christmas and Other Adventures'. Making its debut on DVD and also available on VHS, it will be available as from 22nd November 2004 from all major retailers.
Made by the BAFTA award-winning King Rollo Films (Maisy, Mr Benn, Wide Eye) and created in full cell animation, a specially orchestrated score and voice-overs from such established artists as Josie Lawrence (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Fat Friends) and Paul Nicholas (Just Good Friends, Sunburn), Spot’s Magical Christmas is sure to be a major hit with young viewers this autumn.
This enchanting 26-minute film begins on Christmas Eve as Spot and his friends are excitedly making preparations. But there’s something rather special missing: Santa’s sleigh. Everyone joins in the hunt but it’s Spot who manages to track it down. To say thank you, the reindeers take Spot on a magical ride and the next day, there’s an extra special surprise under the tree for our young hero!
Also included on this delightful release are the following adventures: Spot’s Winter Sports; Spot’s Windy Day; Spot Follows His Nose and Spot Finds A Key.
Packed full of fun and gentle humour and containing all the traditional charm and nostalgia of an enduring classic, Spot’s songs, adventures and gentle concepts all combine to bring home to young children that learning can be fun!
