********************* COMPETITION CLOSED *********************
Postman Pat The Movie is out this Friday and to celebrate the lovely folks at LoveMovies.ie and Lionsgate have given us 6 ‘Stroke & Purr’ Jess the cats to giveaway.
The two have paired up to make the video above, which aims to inspire film fans to choose official content. The trailer includes bespoke footage of Postman Pat and his sidekick Jess signposting fans to Lovemovies.ie to learn more about real movie experiences, whilst also thanking them for supporting those who worked behind the scenes by buying their cinema ticket.
With the movie seeing Pat showcase his hidden talents to the world for the first time, audiences will be treated to laughter, action and drama in this much anticipated animation, highlighting the wonderful value of film.
Showing his support for the campaign Stephen Mangan, who voices Postman Pat in the film, said [quote]Being involved in a film centred around such a well-loved character has been a fantastic experience to be part of. But it’s also been great to be part of an animated feature film that sees the hard work of a phenomenal number of highly talented individuals working behind the scenes come together to create something funny, entertaining and inspiring. I’m delighted that we’ve been able to involve this film in the ‘Moments Worth Paying For’ campaign as it’s something that, hopefully, brings to life for film fans just how much work goes in to creating the films that they love.[/quote]
Alison Crinion, Communications Director, of the Irish Industry Trust for IP Awareness said: [quote]Postman Pat: The Movie is an excellent addition to the campaign, with our youth strategy, we aim to educate young people to value the creativity that goes into making film, and this trailer does just that. It’s been fantastic to work with Lionsgate again, and we’re delighted to be continuing our partnered approach in increasing awareness of the huge range of legal services that are available to Irish audiences.
This new trailer is also the very first online campaign for the newly improved Lovemovies.ie website. Through continued conseumer education our aim is helping continue to reduce audience engagement with infringing content.[/quote]
Ross Cunningham, Head of Marketing at Lionsgate UK also said [quote]Taking on a national icon which is entrenched in the childhood memories of so many people across the UK has been a mammoth task, but one that we have all relished. We’re delighted that, with the help of Postman Pat, we can do our bit to help the Industry Trust’s Moments Worth Paying For campaign, in inspiring audiences to choose official content.[/quote]
