Amazon Prime Video has nabbed exclusive streaming rights to Lupus Films and Walker Productions’ animated feature We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, based on the classic children’s book by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury.
The 25-minute film is now available to US Amazon Prime Video subscribers and can be downloaded to mobile devices for offline viewing.
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt was commissioned by UK broadcaster Channel 4 and premiered to eight million viewers on December 24. It was the channel’s highest-rated program of 2016.
It follows five siblings and their dog Rufus as they go on a search for bears. The voice cast includes well-known British actors Olivia Colman from Broadchurch, Pam Ferris from Matilda and Mark Williams from Harry Potter.
The news follows a day after Amazon Prime Video in India picked up more than 100 hours of content from Zodiak Kids. The service also recently expanded into 200 countries.
