If you’re of a certain age, and British, you probably grew up watching Sooty.

He’s been entertaining kids with his magic and his pals Sweep and Soo since his first appearance on British TV back in 1952 – and in all that time he’s never appeared on the big screen. But that’s about to change.

Sooty, Sweep and Soo are starring in their first film. It’s called Sooty and the Trifle of Doom and will co-star Sooty’s current human pal Simon Cadell.

The film’s in pre-production at the moment so there’s no word yet on when it’ll be released.

Forget your Avengers, Star Wars, etc Sooty is where it’s at! (Actually, my favourite is Sweep, but still.)
