Alan Cumming, Ryan Reynolds and more to star in Audible’s CINNAMON BEAR

Audible has just announced a new original series perfect for family listening: Cinnamon Bear: A Holiday Adventure, performed by star-studded actors with original musical numbers.
Cinnamon Bear was born on November 26, 1937, as the star of a cliffhanger-style children’s radio series. We hear it was quite the rage! Well, that was then. Now a brand new series, The Cinnamon Bear -A Holiday Adventure is hosted by a star cast, and it’s not your grandpa’s spicy eggnog. For starters, Jimmy and Judy, those ridiculously naive kids from the original, are now skeptical, savvy, sarcastic little buggers (hey, parents sound familiar to you?). They follow the magical cinnamon bear (Alan Cumming) on ââa hike out of this world to find their lost (or stolen!) Star high in the trees. Along the way, they’ll meet some bizarre (and hilarious) characters including Mr. Presto the Magician (John Goodman), Crazy Quilt Dragon (Stephen Root), and spoiler alert! – Santa Claus himself (Ryan Reynolds). Mix up a playful score from Pogues co-founder James Fearnley, and you’ve got a deliciously rich and fulfilling vacation experience kids AND parents will love.
The first two episodes will be available on November 29
New episodes will be released daily (Monday to Friday) until December 23
He’s a teddy bear who walks and talks. Go with it.
Performed by a full cast including Alan Cumming, John Goodman, Ryan Reynolds, Marcia Gay Harden, Rachel Dratch, Catherine Keener, Helen Hunt, Johnny Galecki, Thomas Lennon, Ana Gasteyer and many more!
