Channel 4 shares first look at Christmas animation Mog's Christmas
Judith Kerr's much-loved children's book cat is brought to life in this exclusive look at Channel 4's Christmas animation.
Christmas is a magical time, sure, but it can also be a little bit overwhelming. Or a lot. We're certain Mog, the kitty at the centre of Channel 4's Christmas animation, would agree.
A first look trailer exclusive to RadioTimes.com teases what's to come for the forgetful cat, based on Judith Kerr's much-loved children's book. The adaptation of the classic has been produced by Lupus Films, and is set to air on the channel this Christmas.
Animated in Kerr's signature style, the trailer shows Mog navigating her busy household, which includes two extra aunts and an uncle staying for the holidays on top of Mr and Mrs Thomas and their two children, Debbie and Nicky. When they bring back a massive Christmas tree, Mog flees to the roof for safety.
You can watch below:
"Despite everyone’s fears, Mog has a magical night in the snow with a cat themed Christmas dream, but will Mog arrive back home in time for Christmas Day?" Channel 4 teased in the synopsis.
