PETER & THE WOLF Reimagined By Gavin Friday And Bo PETER & THE WOLF Reimagined By Gavin Friday And Bono For Max And Cartoon Network 

The animated short film is scheduled to premiere later this year.

Max and Cartoon Network have greenlit an animated rendition of the beloved classic tale PETER & THE WOLF featuring music and narration by Gavin Friday, and artwork based on original illustrations by Bono, originally developed in 2003 in support of Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF). 

The special transforms Sergei Prokofiev’s much-loved symphony into an enchanting and contemporary visual masterpiece that touches on themes of growing up, loss, courage, transformation, and our relationship with nature. The animated short film is scheduled to premiere later this year and is part of an ongoing relationship with Irish Hospice Foundation.

The uniquely creative project is led by musician and composer Gavin Friday and saw him narrate the reimagined classic tale with The Friday Seezer Ensemble performing Prokofiev score, newly arranged by Maurice Seezer and Gavin Friday. (LINK IN BIO)
