Meet the team that rocked the Stone Age when “Early Man” arrives on Digital HD May 15th and on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD, and On Demand May 22nd from Lionsgate.
From Aardman, the award-winning tribe that brought you “Wallace & Gromit,” “Chicken Run,” and “Shaun the Sheep Movie,” this prehistoric romp tells the epic story of Dug the caveman and his goofy friends who challenge invaders to a game of soccer in order to win back their home. Perfect for the young and young-at-heart alike, the cheerful tale told in charming, well-crafted claymation is Certified Fresh™ on Rotten Tomatoes and is full of “abundant delights” (Ella Taylor, NPR). Starring in the film are Oscar®-winner Eddie Redmayne (Best Actor, “The Theory of Everything,” 2014; “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”), Tom Hiddleston (“Thor: Ragnarok,” “Kong: Skull Island”), Maisie Williams (TV’s “Game of Thrones”), as well as Timothy Spall (“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” the “Harry Potter” franchise).
Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures roamed the Earth, “Early Man” tells the story of courageous caveman hero Dug (Eddie Redmayne) and his best friend, Hognob, as they unite their tribe against a mighty enemy — Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston) and his Bronze Age City — to save their home.
