Magic Light Pictures have shared an exclusive “first look” trailer for this year’s BBC One and BBC iPlayer Christmas Day animation, The Scarecrows’ Wedding.
From multi-Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning producers Magic Light Pictures, The Scarecrows’ Wedding is the latest festive adaptation of a Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler classic following in the footsteps of The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Stick Man, Zog, and last year’s Tiddler.
This year’s film tells the enchanting story of two devoted scarecrows, Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay, who dream of the perfect wedding. But when Harry sets off to fetch one last thing for the big day, a smooth-talking rival, Reginald Rake, swoops in with plans of his own leading to unexpected mischief, danger and a race against time.
The half-hour animated special features an all-star cast including Jessie Buckley (Wicked Little Letters, Wild Rose) as Betty O’Barley, Domhnall Gleeson (About Time, The Paper) as Harry O’Hay, and returning favourite Rob Brydon (Gavin & Stacey, The Trip) as Reginald Rake, all led by Sophie Okonedo (Slow Horses, Hotel Rwanda) as the Narrator.
