Ethel & Ernest
Ethel & Ernest is the latest Raymond Briggs book to be turned into an animation - following in the footsteps of The Snowman, Father Christmas, and When The Wind Blows.
The movie sees Roger Mainwood in the director's chair as he makes his feature film debut. As well as being in the director's chair, Mainwood has also penned the film's screenplay.
The director has brought together a terrific voice cast as Brenda Blethyn and Jim Broadbent bring the title characters of Ethel and Ernest to life.
They are joined by Luke Treadaway, Pam Feris, June Brown, Virginia McKenna, Roger Allam, and Peter Wright.
Based on the award-winning book by acclaimed British author and illustrator Raymond Briggs, this beautifully hand-drawn, animated feature film tells the true story of Raymond's own parents - Ethel and Ernest - two ordinary Londoners living through a period of extraordinary events and immense social change.
Heart-warming, humorous and bittersweet, the film follows the lives of lady's maid Ethel and milkman Ernest from their first chance meeting in 1928, through the birth of their son Raymond in 1934, to their deaths, within months of each other, in 1971.
From the socially stratified 1920s to the moon landing of 1969, the film depicts, through Ethel and Ernest's eyes, the most defining moments of the 20th Century: the darkness of the Great Depression, the build up to World War II, the trials of the war years, the euphoria of VE Day and the emergence of a generation from post-war austerity to the cultural enlightenment of the 1960s.
Ethel & Ernest is released 28th October.
