Emily wears a pink ribbon with a heart on her head,a pink dress with cream stripes with hearts on them,a ribbon around her waist,cream stockings and pink shoes while Bagpuss wears a matching heart bowtie. She brought in two things to her shop today: a lost thing as usual and a Valentine's day card to give her beloved saggy cloth cat. And do you know what was written on the card? This is what it said: "To my dear friend Bagpuss,old fat furry cat-puss,thank you for mending all of the things that i bring into this shop.You are the bestest saggy old cloth cat friend a little girl like me could ever have.Our friendship will last forever until the very end. Love from Emily" Bagpuss was so happy to hear those words that he leaped into Emily's arms and danced all around the shop with her. Even though he's baggy and a bit loose at the seams,Emily loved him. As Tom Jones once sang: "Pussycat,Pussycat,I love you, yes i do: you and your Pussycat nose" The pose is based on the opening credits of the 1974 SmallFilms series

From the looks of it,both SmallFilms and Threewise Entertainment are about to do something they never did before:
Create a movie for the big screen
#Bagpuss #SmallFilms #ThreewiseEntertainment #FeatureFilm #StopMotion #Cinema #BagpussMovie #OliverPostgate #DanielPostgate #PeterFirmin #EmilyFirmin
But the biggest heartwarming bit of all in the end credits would a dedication at the end of the credits:
"In loving memories of Oliver and Daniel Postgate and Peter Firmin"
#Bagpuss #SmallFilms #ThreewiseEntertainment #FeatureFilm #StopMotion #Cinema #BagpussMovie #OliverPostgate #PeterFirmin
And it is also stated that the film would be faithful to the tv series. How faithful will it be? we'll just have to wait and see

Victor gives Pinny a Santa hat before Jo and Tom take them and their homes down off the shelf to play with them as usual. The Dollhouse Pinny lives in and the boat Victor lives in are both off screen but the shelf can be seen.
