Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Pick is back to deliver yet another delightful stop-motion flick with Aardman Animations. This new feature is the pre-historic comedy Early Man, which now has a brand new trailer!

The film centers on caveman Dug and his sidekick Hognob (the earliest ancestors of Wallace and Gromit?) who inhabit the dawn of time with prehistoric creatures like mammoths. Things take a giant turn when the duo and their tribe must save their land from the advanced Bronze Age City. Dug is voiced by Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne, and Loki himself Tom Hiddleston voices villain Lord Nooth.

Pre-historic comedies have been a common occurrence in animation with the likes of The Flintstones, the Ice Age movies, and The Croods. But with Early Man, the charm of it’s British humour and Aardman’s talented stop-motion craftsmanship make this look like a big winner. Those disappointed by the cancellation of The Croods 2 should be pleased to have this fill in the gap.

Early Man will be theatrically released in native UK on January 26, 2018 A.D. by StudioCanal, while Lionsgate will give American audiences their pre-history fix a little later on February 16.
