Channing Tatumwill take on an interesting role in Warner Bros. and Warner Animation Group’s new animated adventure-comedy,Smallfoot. His furry protagonist takes center stage in the film’s first trailer. It’s a pretty solid introduction to the humorous tone of the movie and the twist on the mythology of the yeti, and one that’s obviously family-friendly.
While chatting withPeopleabout the movie, Tatum said, “I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m super excited for my daughter to see something that I’m in. Even though I’m never gonna tell her it’s me so she’ll like it. Let’s just say she’s a tough critic. There’s a certain style and tone inSmallfootthat is reminiscent of old-school Looney Tunes, which I was completely in love with as a kid. It’s kinda how me and my daughter play. She loves physical comedy, like when I fall over something and act like I hurt myself. She’s a sucker for a good pratfall.”
