I just hope how it's shown on there is how it will appear on broadcast too, and they won't be obliged to whack a great big '(c) 2023 COPYRIGHT HARPER COLLINS PUBLISHING' message over the top of it as they had to do with The Snowman one last year.
What will be interesting to see is how this sits as part of the wider package though. Short stings or idents for Channel 4 based on that year's animation are nothing new, but they were usually being added in to a growing rotation alongside others so only got occasional use. As they're effectively working with a blank slate this year, it'll be a first chance to see if they just use this for most things once they go into full Christmas mode to get their money's worth out of it. Or whether they'll also have some more generic ones in the mix. Has anyone spotted any changes to any promo endboards yet as in previous years they've often been the first to give us a hint, usually before we're even out of November? The online promo for Mog still seems to have regular endboard branding, but that may just be a limit of their automated YouTube workflow.
