The Gruffalo's Child DVD
The Gruffalo is back, and this time he has a daughter! Available on DVD and Blu Ray from 13 February 2012, The Gruffalo’s Child is the must-have DVD for kids and parents alike and continues the story of one of the most popular characters ever to have been created.
Produced by Magic Light Pictures, who also brought The Gruffalo from book to screen, The Gruffalo’s Child features a top notch line up of British talent as the voice over cast, and captured the hearts of an adoring public when broadcast on BBC One on Christmas Day.
It is a few years since the fearsome Gruffalo, with his 'terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws' voiced by Robbie Coltrane (The Harry Potter Films, Van Helsing, Ocean’s Twelve), fled from The Big Bad Mouse who threatened to eat him (James Corden - Gavin & Stacey, The History Boys).
But one wild and windy night the Gruffalo’s Child (Shirley Henderson - Bridget Jones, Marie Antoinette) is feeling brave and ignores her father’s warning and tiptoes out into the snow in search of the legend.
After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist... does he?
On her journey she meets Owl (John Hurt), Fox (Tom Wilkinson) and Snake (Rob Brydon) who direct her towards the fearsome creature, but what will she make of Mouse when she finally finds him?
Narrated by Helena Bonham Carter (Harry Potter, The King’s Speech, Alice in Wonderland), The Gruffalo’s Child is based on the much-loved children’s book by Children's Laureate Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler.
With its stunning animation and star-studded cast, it is impossible to resist the charm and magic of The Gruffalo’s Child.
