Christmas is the most wonderful time of year. Alice In Wonderland is a literary and media classic. What happens when you combine the two? You get “The Night Before Christmas In Wonderland”, which is based on the best-selling book from author Carys Bexington and illustrator Kate Hindley. The animated movie will be coming to both Hulu and Amazon Prime Video on November 15, 2024, while the UK gets it in theaters on December 13, 2024. It certainly looks pretty charming. Here’s everything that you need to know about it:
The synopsis of the movie reads: “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?”
The movie stars Gerard Butler as St. Nick, Emilia Clarke as The Queen Of Hearts, and Simone Ashley as Alice. That’s a pretty star studded cast for a movie like this. The movie is directed by Peter Baynton (who worked on “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, And The Horse”), in his feature film directorial debut, with 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.
Julia Stuart, Director of Original Film at Sky, released the following statement: “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,” 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.”
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.
And that’s the information on the movie. Finally, here’s the trailer itself:
