The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland
Director
St Nick (voiced by Gerard Butler) 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 (voiced by Emilia Clarke) who hates all things Christmas… especially presents! Can St Nick, aided by Alice (voiced by Simone Ashley), the Mad Hatter and March Hare, show the Queen the true meaning of Christmas and save the day before it’s too late?
Directed by Peter Baynton, produced by Ruth Fielding and Camilla Deakin at Lupus Films, with songs by Guy Chambers and Amy Wadge, and a screenplay by Sara Daddy, this is a musical adaptation of the picture book by Carys Bexington and Kate Hindley.
Cast: Gerard Butler, Emilia Clarke, Simone Ashley, Mae Muller, Mackenzie Crook, Mawaan Rizwan, Asim Chaudhry, Simon Day, Nicolas Hamilton, Tom Allen, Duncan Wisbey, Eliza Riley
Universal Pictures presents a Lupus Films production, a Universal Pictures Content Group film in association with Islington Films
**** It’s soulful and gentle, and possibly the most Christmassy movie of the season so far.
