On the first day of Lunar New Year this year, director Nick Park – a four-time recipient of the Oscar and Aardman awards – the animation studio behind the success of two very popular films `Wallace and Gromit` and `Shaun`
Let’s learn about the super cute characters in this animated movie!
Dug – The bravest young man of the year (voiced by Eddie Redmayne)
The main character of the movie is Dug – a dreamy young man, a bit stupid, clumsy but extremely brave and likable.
Contributing to bringing Dug to life is Eddie Redmayne, the actor who received an Oscar in the Best Actor category for his role as Professor Stephen Hawking in `The Theory of Everything`.
Strong girl Goona (voiced by Maisie Williams)
Goona – a courageous girl from the Bronze Age, inspired Dug and the Stone Tribe to fight to protect their home valley.
Explaining this decision, director Nick said: `We built Goona as a strong female character and the best player of the team.
The wily Lord Nooth (voiced by Tom Hiddleston)
The third main character in Prehistoric Village is the enemy plotting to invade the village: the cunning Lord Nooth.
To play this infamous villain, the filmmakers chose Tom Hiddleston, an actor known to many fans for his role as Loki in the Marvel Superhero series, and Captain James Conrad.
Director Nick came up with the idea of inviting Tom to voice the character Nooth after seeing what this actor did in the BBC’s `Graham Norton Show`.
Hognob the wolf-pig hybrid
An indispensable member of the animated film Prehistoric Village is Hognob – the pet pig that Dug takes care of.
Although he just appeared in public in the trailer, the wild boar Hognob with his funny and funny appearance promises to continue to put his name on the list of impressive supporting characters in the animation world.
Bearing Aardman’s unique style and signature, the cute and fun footage of Prehistoric Village promises to lead viewers on an exciting adventure journey, returning to prehistoric times with the characters.
This is the only animated film for audiences, especially families and children, on the first day of Lunar New Year this year.
Early Man – Prehistoric Village premieres starting on the first day of Tet, February 16, 2018.
