New Early Man Trailer

I’m a huge fan of Nick Park, the creator of Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run, and I’m excited to see more of his distinct stop-motion animation. It’s an animation style that is even more unique in the era of computer-generated films. This is the latest international trailer for his next film Early Man and it looks like fans of his work won’t be disappointed.

The film follows caveman Dug (Eddie Redmayne) as he stumbles into an advanced Bronze Age city that threatens to destroy his tribe which lives in a peaceful valley which is invaded by Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston). Dug teams up with his sheep sidekick Hognob and Bronze Age city resident Goona (Maisie Williams) to defend his tribe. It’s not a historically accurate film, with soccer fields replacing gladiator fights – more suitable for families you know. There are some great gags here, and I can’t wait to see it.

Here is the official description:

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 own 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.

Early Man is set to hit theaters on January 26, 2018.
