Channel 4 Takes On Contender's Lost and Found

LONDON, December 3:
Contender Entertainment Group and Studio AKA are set to air their adaptation of
the Oliver Jeffers book Lost and Found on
Channel 4 in the U.K. over the Christmas holiday.

The 25-minute animated
film will air at 4:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve and again at 12:30 p.m. on Boxing
Day. Lost and Found tells the story
of a little boy who finds a penguin on his doorstep. He is determined to take
the penguin back home to the South Pole and along the way discovers that maybe
home wasn't what the penguin was looking for after all.

Contender
Entertainment's director, Joan Lofts, commented: "It is a really beautiful
film which captures the spirit of the book absolutely perfectly and Jim's
narration is spot on. We are thrilled by how it has all turned out and believe
that Lost and Found will prove to be a new Christmas classic."
