LBMM stars versatile Nollywood actors Bimbo Akintola,
Patrick Doyle, Awazi Angbalaga, Bola Edwards, Casey Edema, Oluchi Odii, Francis
Sule, along with siblings, 12 and 14-year-old Jessica and David Edwards.
Various eye-catching characters from the movie such as Ladybuckit, Mopsticks,
Slipperhead, Dustee, have begun intriguing fans on social media.
This movie centres around a young girl, Bukky, whose search
for answers leads her down a path of self-discovery. She inadvertently turns
into a bucket and bonds with the most unusual characters.
The film’s exclusive screening, which was held at the
Genesis Cinemas, The Palms, Lekki, Lagos, on Sunday, December 6, 2020, was
attended by the star cast and crew, the media and eager fans who have been
curious about the Mopsters. The 80-minute-movie received thunderous applause
from the audience who posed for photos and received autographs from their
favourite Nigerian stars after the screening.
“Our hope is that families will watch this film together and
that the project will be part of helping to build even stronger bonds. 2020 has
been a daunting year, and as it ends, we must find ways to remind families and
friends that there is hope and more joyful moments to look forward to. This is
what we want to do with LBMM,” Blessing Amidu, CEO, Hot Ticket Productions and
the film’s Producer and Executive Producer, pointed out during the exclusive
screening event.
“Being able to successfully conceptualize, produce and
release LBMM is a testament to the fact that anything is possible. Going
forward we want to encourage more Nigerian creatives to venture into the
animation genre of filmmaking in Nigeria. We are hoping that Lady Buckit and
the Motley Mopsters will open up the market in ways we haven’t even comprehended,”
Blessing Amidu added.
The story of Lady Buckit and the Motley Mopsters was
inspired by the relationship between five-year-old twin boys and their loving
mother. It is estimated that over $1
million (over ₦400 million) was invested in the production of the movie. Hot
Ticket Productions, makers of the movie, has also announced the planned
development of a World Class Entertainment Facility to the tune of $45m by its
Sister company Max Allegra Corporation. The facility will be another first of
its kind in Nigeria.
