“It has been an exciting few months working with Gary Barlow on the Daisy & Ollie Christmas episode, and it has been an incredible honour to write a song for him to sing in the show. Bringing in a huge star like Gary brings that festive touch of sparkle a Christmas episode needs. I can’t wait for the viewers’ reactions when they see Gary in the show, the animators have done an incredible job creating his character – it looks just like him!” – Jason Manford
Superstar singer-songwriter, Gary Barlow is spreading festive cheer this winter season, by joining Jason Manford and the voice cast of hit pre-school animation, ‘Daisy & Ollie‘, for a special musical Christmas episode, set to air on Cartoonito in December 2018.
The Take That front man has been animated by the team at CHF Entertainment and will star as himself in the magical episode ‘What’s so great about Christmas anyway?’, singing a song written by Jason Manford and the team.
Take That lead singer and former The X Factor judge Gary Barlow is the festive guest for Daisy and Ollie.
The Christmas special is brimming with music and fun and follows ‘Daisy’s Daddy’ (voiced by Jason Manford), a musician and single father, as he is asked to write a Christmas single for the world famous pop star, Gary Barlow, who’ll be performing it at the town Christmas concert.
The ever-inquisitive friends ‘Daisy’ (voiced by Sarah Hadland) and ‘Ollie’ (voiced by Claire Morgan) are disheartened to discover that Daisy’s Daddy isn’t feeling the festive inspiration to write the song, which prompts them to try and restore his Christmas spirit by finding out what really is so special about Christmas.
The Daisy & Ollie Christmas special episode, ‘What’s so great about Christmas anyway?’ will air on Saturday 1st December at 10am on Cartoonito and will be available to download in early December.
“I was absolutely thrilled when Jason asked me to be part of the Daisy & Ollie Christmas special, especially as a cartoon version of myself. It was great fun and a heart-warming show. I can’t wait to watch it with my family during the Christmas period!” – Gary Barlow
