Beloved Children's TV Character Bagpuss to Get His Own 'Heartfelt' Feature Film

The film sequel, approved by Daniel Postgate before his death, blends storytelling, comedy, and music to revive Bagpuss for modern audiences, honoring the 50-year legacy.

  • Birmingham-Based Threewise Entertainment is developing a new live-action and animated Bagpuss feature film aimed for release in 2027.
  • The film follows from the 1974 series, which was voted the UK's favourite children’s programme in a 1999 BBC poll and starred a pink cloth cat with only 13 episodes.
  • The story is a modern-day quest blending heartfelt storytelling, comedy, and music, developed with approval from Daniel Postgate, son of original creator Oliver Postgate who died in June.
  • Michael Ford, CEO of Threewise, said Bagpuss is a 'saggy old cloth with many a tall tale' and they are proud to revive the character with the creators' estates' blessing.
  • The film will reawaken Bagpuss and his friends in contemporary Britain, continuing his mission of mending lost things and introducing the classic character to new generations.
