About This Program

Animated adaptation of Julia Donaldson's best-selling children's book. It tells the tale of a little mouse who takes a walk through the woods in search of a nut, only to encounter a fox, an owl and a snake who all want to eat him. To escape their clutches, the quick-witted rodent creates an imaginary monster to scare away his attackers - but it turns out to be all too real. Robbie Coltrane heads the voice cast as the Gruffalo, with James Corden as the Mouse and Rob Brydon, John Hurt and Tom Wilkinson as the predators

The Gruffalo broadcasts on BBC One London HD at 9:45am, Friday, 26 December 2025. (Subtitles, repeat)
