"The cuddliest Christmas film this year." What an intense voiceover voice for this adorable film. Blue Fox Entertainment has revealed an official US trailer for a made-for-kids spirited holiday movie called Teddy's Christmas. This Norwegian movie first opened in Norway last year around this same time, and it has been dubbed into English for release in US theaters this fall. Christmas peace falls over a small town in Norway, but at the Christmas market there's hectic activity. Mariann discovers a teddy bear at the top shelf. Mariann wants to win the Teddy, but someone else does. But Teddy feels a connection with her and the two end up on an adventure together to reconnect in this remarkable & heartwarming Christmas story. Featuring Zachary Levi as the English voice of Teddy, with a cast including Marte Klerck-Nilssen, Jan Gunnar Røise, Nader Khademi, & Mariann Hole. There's not much to this trailer, strangely quite short.

Exclusive: Capelight Pictures said Tuesday that it is partnering with Blue Fox Entertainment to present Fantefilm’s Norwegian family Christmas feature Teddy’s Christmas in U.S. theaters nationwide on December 1, 2023.
The film stars Zachary Levi (Shazam!) as the voice of the animated title character, Teddy, in the English-dubbed version of Andrea Eckerbom’s hit Norwegian CGI-live action hybrid. Marte Klerck-Nilssen, Jan Gunnar Røise (The Thing), Nader Khademi (Countrymen) and Mariann Hole (Made in Oslo) also are in the voice cast.
The holiday story, which centers on an 8-year-old girl who pursues an adventurous living teddy bear, mixes live-action and CGI animation. While visiting a Christmas market, Mariann suddenly sees an unbelievable sight: on the top shelf of a carnival game booth, the most adorable stuffed teddy bear has just moved his head and sneezed. Feeling an instant connection, Mariann can’t think of any better Christmas wish than to win him as a prize.

Along with its premium scripted lineup, Newen Connect is launching a pair of timely investigative documentaries, “Ukraine” and “Wagner,” which are providing insight into the current war.
Now filming, “Ukraine” is being co-directed by Ksenia Blochakova, the Russia correspondent of the news channel France 24, and Philippe Lagnier, a journalist working at Newen-owned production banner Capa.
“Ukraine” is a one-hour documentary featuring interviews with soldiers, politicians and experts speaking about the Russian offensive. The doc, commissioned by Arte in France and in Germany, is expected to air at the end of April.
Chloé Persyn, who joined Newen Connect last year as head of factual distribution, said “Ukraine” illustrates the banner’s capacity to turn around in-depth documentaries exploring complex geo-political issues in record time.
“Wagner,” co-directed by Blochakova and Alexandra Jousset, sheds light on the Wagner Group, a private Russian military force which is known as Putin’s shadow army.
