In this Burtonesque animation adapted from the Guy Bass children’s book, a small creature is awoken by a Mad Professor to protect the other creations from the local townspeople.
High above the little town of Grubbers Nubbin looms Castle Grotteskew where the maddest of all mad professors (Rob Brydon) brings his latest monstrous creations to (almost)-life. Stitch Head (Asa Butterfield) is the professor’s first, long-forgotten creation, made up of spare parts, he is quite a sight to behold, with his bald, round head covered in a patchwork of stitches. He splits his time between keeping the castle safe and the other monsters hidden, as even the smallest sign of monstrousness may see the townsfolk burn the castle to the ground. But when a freak show arrives in town, Stitch Head may just be the much needed new attraction. The offbeat humour and enjoyably quirky character design will keep both young and old highly amused. Voice cast also includes Alison Steadman and Joel Fry.
