Billy the Hamster Cowboy arrives in cinemas on February 6
Dreaming big, even when you’re small, is the starting point of Billy the Hamster Cowboy, a fun and heartwarming animated film that opens in cinemas on February 6 and is set to become a delightful discovery for family audiences.
Billy is a hamster with a huge heart who dreams of becoming a real cowboy. To make it happen, he knows he can’t do it alone: he’ll need good friends, a proper cowboy hat… and plenty of adventures. By his side are Jean-Claude, an enthusiastic and loyal worm, and Suzie, a brave and determined ferret, with whom he will experience humorous, emotional and heartfelt adventures.
Based on the popular books by Catharina Valckx, and directed by Caroline Murrell and Antoine Rota, the film brings together six standalone stories connected by a common thread: growing up, making mistakes, helping others and discovering that being a hero is less about strength and more about generosity.
With warm and expressive 2D animation, Billy the Hamster Cowboy explores friendship, fear, courage, jealousy and the need to belong, always from a child’s perspective and with a subtle sense of humor that also resonates with adults.
Recommended for children aged 4 and up, it is an ideal choice for a first cinematic experience shared as a family.
Come with your family, get ready for the Far West and buy your tickets to enjoy Billy’s adventure on the big screen.
