- Birmingham-Based Threewise Entertainment is developing a new live-action and animated Bagpuss feature film aimed for release in 2027.

- 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.
