Christmas is a magical time, sure, but it can also be a little bit overwhelming. Or a lot. We\u2019re certain Mog, the kitty at the centre of Channel 4\u2019s Christmas animation, would agree.<\/p>\n

A first look trailer exclusive to RadioTimes.com<\/a> teases what\u2019s to come for the forgetful cat, based on Judith Kerr\u2019s much-loved children\u2019s book. The adaptation of the classic has been produced by Lupus Films, and is set to air on the channel this Christmas.<\/p>\n

Animated in Kerr\u2019s signature style, the trailer shows Mog navigating her busy household, which includes two extra aunts and an uncle staying for the holidays on top of Mr and Mrs Thomas and their two children, Debbie and Nicky. When they bring back a massive Christmas tree, Mog flees to the roof for safety.<\/p>\n
