Buzz, Film

Modern Films Family in partnership with CBeebies are excited to announce that this year’s CBeebies Panto is Beauty and the Beast and that it will be in cinemas during November and December.

For the seventh year running, the CBeebies Panto will premiere on the big screen for the festive season from November 22nd, with additional exclusive content from Dodge and more.

Beauty and the Beast was filmed in Edinburgh at the Festival Theatre to a live audience of over 1900 people over 2 days and 4 performances. The result is an all-singing, all-dancing and storytelling theatrical experience with a heart. It takes the well-known story and brings it into the CBeebies world through its characters, settings and messaging.

Narrated by Snow Raven (James Mackenzie), the panto takes place in a magical land inspired by Scottish landscapes and introduces such new characters as garden gnomes, mischievous wolves and a sneaky Thorn Fairy. Featuring a toe-tapping soundtrack from Banks & Wag, CBeebies Beauty and the Beast was produced by BBC Studios, Kids & Family Productions.

Raven’s James Mackenzie narrates this year’s CBeebies Panto alongside a star-studded cast of familiar faces including George Webster, Tyler Collins, Jennie Dale, Evie Pickerill, Puja Panchkoty, Rhys Stephenson, Maddie Moate, Dodge T Dog and Justin Fletcher. Don’t forget to watch out for the special guest star… Gladiator Steel!
