That Paul McCartney animated movie is finally being made? About time!
There was a concept art slideshow at Annecy. French animation studio Gaumont will work on it. Paul, Ringo, Lionel Richie, Celine Dion and Jimmy Fallon will be in the film. Paul wrote 13 songs for the film the 6 that appear will differ based on them release. (Multiple movie versions?)
>The film, set to be released sometime in 2027, reimagines McCartney’s 2005 book as a story of a young squirrel named Wirral (voiced by Himesh Patel) who embarks on a journey to bring back his mother’s voice (Sugartail, played by Céline Dion) after it was stolen by a despot diva named Gretsch (Hannah Waddingham), who has banned all music and all freedom of expression. He sets out to find his mother’s old bandmates – played by McCartney (as a walrus named McKenzie, obviously), Starr (a bird named Roy) and Richie (a bison named Gladstone) — and accidentally sparks a revolution.
