- Synopsis
- Inspired by the Grimm Brothers' fairytale about the Pied Piper of Hamelin, this incredibly lively, unique and entertaining animated feature film is based on one of Sir Terry Pratchett’s highly popular “Discworld” novels that have sold more than 90 million books worldwide. One of the highest-grossing screenwriters of all time, Oscar-nominated Terry Rossio, whose extensive credits include “Shrek”, “Aladdin”, and “Pirates of the Caribbean”, has penned the screenplay. Carter Goodrich, who worked on "Ratatouille”, “The Groods”, “Despicable Me”, is onboard for the character design. The stellar voice cast is led by Emilia Clarke, Hugh Laurie, David Thewlis, Himesh Patel and Gemma Arterton. Toby Genkel (“Ooops! Noah is Gone …”) is directing this international co-production.
