PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL HEARTWARMING SERIES WHICH STARTS NEXT WEEK! MEET THE CHEERFUL CHARACTERS!

     ALL CREATURES BIG & SMALL
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW CHANNEL 5 TV SERIES
The new series starts this Tuesday!
Summer holidays are officially ending today, people, kids will start school tomorrow, adults will return to their workplaces, but if that sounds a bit gloomy to you in our current corona reality, there is something that will put a smile on your faces next week: the start of the new version of legendary ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL series which will hit Channel 5 in UK (and later on on PBS in USA) September 1st with six cheerful episodes and with a Christmas episode in store for the winter.Check out the new trailer below:

All Creatures Great And Small
based on James Herriot’s cherished collection of stories, chronicles the heart warming and humorous adventures of a young country vet. This new
Nicholas Ralph leads the cast as the new vet
adaptation will preserve the rich spirit, tone and values of Herriot’s iconic characters and stories and will bring to life his sharply observed, entertaining
Samuel West plays the owner of the vet clinic in the village
and incredibly funny tales of country life in the North of England for a modern audience, introducing a new generation to his life-affirming stories.

James Herriot
Played by Nicholas Ralph, the character is based on the real-life vet, Alf Wight, whose pen name was James Herriot. He moves from Glasgow to the Yorkshire Dales, desperate to land a job at a veterinary practice. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty and he is always keen to help out on any job. However he does have his insecurities and it takes him a while to open up to the skeptical Yorkshire Dales residents.

Siegfried Farnon
Played by Samuel West, he is inspired by the real life veterinary practice owner Donald Sinclair, who took Herriot on as an assistant. He is full of good humour but is equally as infuriating, and is often the main source of conflict. He almost refuses to give Herriot a chance, but quickly opens up to him and the pair work well together.

Mrs Hall
Played by Anna Madeley Mrs Hall is the housekeeper at Skeldale House, where the practice is based, and she is integral to the business. She spends her days making sure the men have all that they need, but she cares for them all like they are part of her own family. She is selfless and will often put their needs before her own, and she is always there as a listening ear.

Helen Alderson
Played by Rachel Shenton, she is a Dales farmer who attracts the attention of Herriot when he first arrives. Like him, she is not afraid to throw herself into the trickiest of situations and she proves to be very independent. She is unlike any other woman he has met as she is used to the harsh realities of farming life. Of course she has her softer side and this shows through her love of animals.

Tristan Farnon
Played by Callum Woodhouse, he is a trainee vet and the younger brother of Siegfried, who considers him a pain. Unlike his brother, he is not easily motivated when it comes to his work and this frustrates Siegfried, who only wants the best for him. He often finds himself in trouble because of his carelessness, but he welcomes Herriot with open arms.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON DISNEY'S LIVE ACTION MULAN EPIC ADVENTURE WHICH WILL NOW STREAM ONLINE NEXT MONTH CAUSING REVOLT AROUND THE WORLD

     'MULAN' TO STREAM
ON DISNEY + FROM SEPTEMBER
When, after numerous delays, Disney decided, earlier this month, to release their live action adaptation of MULAN on their streaming service
Mulan streams September 4th on Disney +
Disney + instead of opting for a theatrical release, owners of private cinemas saw in it the sign of their demise (as they saw the film as their only opportunity to save their businesses after the corona shutdowns which left most of them without incomes), and some were appalled to such extent that one of them even took an axe in his hands in order to chop down the big movie banners for the film which were advertising it in his cinema that might be now forced to close due to the lack of films to show and no big blockbuster to bring back audience in front of the big screens. Disney obviously does not care much. The film will now stream
The film was originally meant for March release
on Disney + from September 4th both in USA and UK and all other countries that have their streamer. The audience will, however, have to pay a special premium fee of $30 for streaming which unsettled lots of their regular users (you won't be able to see it just for the price of your regular monthly fee and in most online polls people say they won't purchase the movie for that price). It is also interesting that Disney will still release MULAN in cinemas over in China, where it might even flop since the movie there is seen as a cheap version of their masterfully done epic adventures, which is obvious even from the trailer
Yoson An and Yifei Liu are the leads in the film
below. Thousands of Chinese movie lovers have even ridiculed the posters on their internet calling them outdated and cheap. Meanwhile, over in USA some
Donnie Yen is the commander, Jet Li is the emperor of China
members of the cancel culture are boycotting the film because the lead actress Yifei Liu supported the politics of her native country China. So, will MULAN
Niki Caro directed the new live action movie
be a success for Disney or a massive flop, it remains to be seen next month.

     The Story Of Mulan 
When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honoured warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honoured warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation and a proud father.

Who Stars In Mulan?
The movie, directed by Niki Caro, stars Yifei Liu as Mulan, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan, and Yoson An as
Gong Li and Jason Scott Lee also star in the film
Cheng Honghui, with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. Christina Aguilera has released, last week, the lead song for the movie.
