Shares It is a cosy Sunday afternoon as I walk into a dimly lit movie theatre in the Lekki environs of Lagos, Nigeria. Already seated are hundreds of guests, including celebrities and members of the press like myself. As I make my way to empty rows in the middle, I spot a few extra-young faces in front, two of which I later learn are part of the cast for the movie about to be screened to a select audience, one week ahead of its premiere. Following a successful premiere event scheduled for today, December 11, 2020, Lady Buckit and the Motley Mopsters (LBMM) will become Nigeria’s first feature-length animated movie to make it to the big screens. You may recall that a similar project, titled SADE, only made it to press briefs in 2018 but never took off for undisclosed reasons.
