Watch A Clip From The BBC's Upcoming THE GRUFFALO'S CHILD

While it is still not a proper trailer or promo for the BBC's upcoming animated Christmas special The Gruffalo's Child, the network aired a new station identification spot yesterday built entirely on footage from the stop motion animated affair.

One wild and windy night, the Gruffalo's child ignores her father's warnings and bravely tiptoes out into the snow in search of the Big Bad Mouse. She meets Snake, Owl and Fox, but there's no sign of the fabled Mouse. He doesn't really exist ... or does he?

Helena Bonham Carter, Rob Brydon, Robbie Coltrane, James Corden, Shirley Henderson, John Hurt and Tom Wilkinson all supply voices to the follow up to the stellar 2009 effort and you can see the ID spot below.
