Bing heads to the big screen for Christmas

Feature-length cinema experience launches in partnership with Vue and Showcase.

Following the successful debut of Bing in cinemas last year, Acamar Films has developed a new feature-length cinema experience called Bing’s Christmas.

In partnership with Vue and Showcase, Bing’s Christmas will run exclusively in 105 cinemas across the UK from Friday November 29.

Yesterday (November 24) saw a star-studded premiere take place, previewing the preschool show’s first Christmas cinema experience.

The premiere – which was held in central London – was attended by cast and crew along with celebrities and their ‘Bingsters’ including TV presenter Alex Jones, DJ Annie Mac, singer Antony Costa, actress and singer Hannah Spearitt, singer JB Gill, actor Simon Bird, newsreader Sonali Shah and actress Sophie Colquhoun.

Bing’s Christmas includes new stories such as leaf pictures in the woods with Amma, Bing & Sula face painting, a puppet show performance and a grand finale of extra special Christmas adventures.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Vue and Showcase this Christmas,” said Eroulla Constantine, director of sales and distribution at Acamar Films. “We hope to move and delight Bingsters across the UK when Bing’s Christmas opens in cinemas on Friday. It’s very special.”
