Description
Join SFFILM Education and our newly expanded offerings for families with a special preview screening of Early Man. This event—perfect for families (with children ages 5 and up), educators, and fans of independent animation—will feature a screening of the newest film from the award winning studio Aardman Animations followed by a Q&A with director Nick Park and animation directors Will Becher and Merlin Crossingham.
Early Man is the new prehistoric comedy adventure from four-time Academy Award–winning director Nick Park and Aardman, the creators of Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Shot in Aardman’s distinctive style, the film will take audiences on an extraordinary journey into an exciting new world, unleashing an unforgettable tribe of unique and funny new characters voiced by an all-star British cast.
Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of courageous caveman hero Dug (Eddie Redmayne) and his best friend Hognob, as they unite his tribe against a mighty enemy, Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston), and his Bronze Age City to save their home.
This film has been rated PG by the MPAA for rude humor and some action.
