Members of our DNEG Animation team headed to the BFI London Film Festival for the world premiere of That Christmas!
The premiere, which took place at London’s Southbank Centre, saw Director Simon Otto’s animated adaptation of Richard Curtis’ hit children’s book series make its cinematic debut.
Already dubbed a “new holiday classic” by The Hollywood Reporter, our team was so thrilled to be there to witness their work on the big screen for the first time – and to enjoy everyone’s reactions to the heartwarming tale!
