CBEEBIES’ THUMBELINA SET FOR BIG UNVEILING
CBEEBIES’ Christmas show, Thumbelina, will be broadcast on December 21, but viewers will be able to catch it on BBC iplayer from December 15.
Katrina Bryan (Nina and the Neurons, Molly and Mack) takes the role of Thumbelina, while Justin Fletcher (Mr Tumble) stars as Mrs Toad with Phil Gallagher (Mister Maker) as her son, Barney Toad.
And they’ll be joined by many of Cbeebies’ most popular presenters including Andy Day (Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures) as Mr Marvellous Mole; Rebecca Keatley as Swallow; Swashbuckle’s Gemma Hunt as Ladybird; with Joseph Elliott and Richard David Caine as Fly and Spider; Magic Hand’s Aimee Campbell as Butterfly; Ben Faulks as Caterpillar; Maddie Moate as Ms Mouse; and Cbeebies presenters Ben Cajee and Evie Pickerill as the Fairy King and Queen. A unique adaption of Thumbelina, there will be 60s-influenced music, dance and action-packed comedy which is guaranteed to get audiences joining in. It follows the adventures of a thumb-sized girl in an oversized world of woodland creatures. For the first time, in addition to watching on BBC iplayer and the Cbeebies channel, families will be able to experience the seasonal show on the big screen in cinemas across the UK.
