Postman Pat: The Movie [DVD] [2017]

Product Information

Based on the 1960’s animated characters, this DreamWorks film is one of those that produced a lukewarm reaction. Although didactic in the positive sense of the word, it is missing a certain spark to upgrade it into the realm of memorable filmmaking. Teaching kids about ancient civilizations while also trying to deliver on the emotional connection between parents and children is always commendable, but is it enough? Directed by Rob Minkoff (" The Lion King") this story about a smarty-pants dog and his adopted human son received a moderately positive response from audiences and critics. It is hard to know if it will stand the test of time. a b c "Postman Pat The Movie (2014)". British Film Institute. Archived from the original on 30 September 2015 . Retrieved 19 August 2015. Pat decides to take part in the contest and his unexpected singing voice ( Ronan Keating) wins the contest. Pat is to sing again in the finale, in a head-to-head contest with the winner of another heat, Josh ( Rupert Grint). His Scottish-accented manager, Wilf ( David Tennant), however, is very keen to make sure it is his client who wins at all costs. The doorman and the Postman Pat fans outside the studio at the "You're the One" finals should have recognised the real Postman Pat when they saw him. The new Postman Pat (as heard in Postman Pat: The Movie, due in cinemas this Friday) has two voices. When he's singing, he magically switched to Ronan Keating. When he's not? He's Stephen Mangan. And the day after the film's premiere, we had a chat with the man himself...

It's better than the trailer, let's start there. After all, the big screen debut of Postman Pat suffered from an early promo that suggested the film was not one to look forward to. As it turns out, there are merits to the Postman Pat movie, which at times feels as much like the beneficiary of a Doctor Who script conference as a stint watching children's telly. But ultimately, for all the nods to other movies (Faster Pussycat Kill Kill being the most bizarre), and for all the ideas, Pat falls just a little flat when it matters. Elsewhere, the chart saw new releases A Million Ways to Die in the West and Jimmy's Hall bow at numbers four and ten respectively. Mangan also tells us of his delight in working on something his young sons can watch and enjoy, while explaining the difficulties in bringing Pat to the silver screen to dramatic effect, given the inherent, good nature of the man. He also explains what attracted him to take on this role, and compares his singing voice to that of Ronan Keating’s, who provides the vocals for Pat’s fledging musical career in the movie. To celebrate, Digital Spy caught up with the pair to find out all about weird fan mail and demand they sing the famous Postman Pat theme tune for our amusement. With the two animation titans quietly on the sidelines for the most part, a dream-like scenario for other films to shine has been created. During the first half of the year several animated titles have hit theaters already all with varying degrees of success. Clearly the conditions are prime for some great and unique animated features to emerge. However, despite the many promising options, there will also be plenty of disappointments.

Co-producer Ambient Entertainment has partnered with Warner Brothers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Postman Pat the movie is an entertaining tale for all the family, which sees Postman Pat auditioning for a talent show and then being duplicated by lots of “Pat-Bot” robots! I found that it’s one of those movies that you could enjoy as a parent watching alongside your children, you won’t be too bored. Seeing Postman Pat singing with the voice of Ronan Pat was great! A famously cherished character across the Atlantic, it is possible Postman Pat will not connect with American audiences or generate the same love the British have for him. Not because he is not a great guy, but because the movie in his honor seems completely incoherent. Based upon the stop-motion animation series that ran on the BBC from the early 1980’s, this reinvention discards the beauty of the medium that made the character iconic and turns it into a bland computerized puppet. As if this wasn’t enough, the guys at DreamWorks Classics came to the conclusion that including a singing contest (on the vein of Britain’s Got Talent), robots, and warfare machinery would be amazing components to include. Really? Some things are better left untouched; you guys could have called Aardman Animations. They would’ve gotten it right.He’s been the butt of jokes all week on the Internet after some stills of Paddington leaked leading to a Creepy Paddington Tumblr being created, but now his official poster and trailer have landed online. Postman Pat: The Movie was released in the United Kingdom on DVD and Blu-ray on 29 September 2014, by Lionsgate Home Entertainment. [8] Reception [ edit ] Box office [ edit ] Gary Barlow was originally going to be Pat's singing voice, but was later changed to Ronan Keating. Again, almost inevitably, a Britain's Got Talent-style talent show – here called You're the One, and featuring a grumpy, putdown-oriented host called Simon Cowbell – looms large.

January witnessed the atrocious arrival of this generic Open Road Films production about a squirrel planning a heist to get nuts. Easily one of the worse reviewed films of the year so far, it is evident why an early release date was chosen. Even the fact that it was voiced by the likes of Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Katherine Heigl and Brendan Fraser couldn’t rescue it from its simplistic premise. Sadly, the fact that it didn’t offer anything but cheap and formulaic laughs didn’t stop it from being a mild financial success. Beware, it has been granted a sequel out in 2016. Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs Evil's Mike Disa directed from a screenplay by Kim Fuller, Nicole Dubuc and Annika Bluhm. The 3D feature will see the beloved postman as a contestant in a national television talent competition, reports The Wrap. I felt sorry for Rupert Grint. Just an hour before he ended up speaking to me, he'd been interviewed live on air on Radio 2. Then he ended up in a basement of a London office, clutching a coffee, with me. While I had him trapped though, I got ten minutes of his time, and here's how it went... A Most Violent Year [pictured], written and directed by Jc Chandor and starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain. The thriller, set in 1981 New York, follows an immigrant and his family struggling in the violent city. FilmNation handles international sales and the film is in post.Edwards, David (23 May 2014).
