Sergeant Stubby Movie Premier in North America, an Unsung Hero of the Lowell Milken Center
Sergeant Stubby is one of the unsung heroes featured in the Lowell Milken Center and the most decorated military dog in United States history.
Sergeant Stubby was a stray dog discovered by a young man at Yale, and then was smuggled aboard a ship when the soldier was shipped overseas during World War I. Stubby assisted the soldiers by smelling poison gases in the air and even warning of German spies, being present for 17 battles before returning to the United States.
Jacy Jenkins, the director of outreach/partnerships for the Fun Academy Motion Studios, located in Columbus, Ga., in the United States with roots in Ireland, visited Fort Scott July 2017. The motion studios company is creating a movie about Stubby’s story.
Jenkins said Stubby’s tale is a captivating one because it starts with him as a stray dog who becomes a hero, an underdog story that can inspire children and families. With the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I approaching, Jenkins said the movie will also be educational in sharing information about the often lesser known world war.
The movie is expected to be shown on 3,000 screens in North America with its release on April 13, 2018.
The teaser trailer for the first movie can be seen here. Lead voice actors include Helena Bonham Carter, Logan Lerman and Gerard Depardieu. Patrick Doyle, popular for music score from movies such as Thor, Brave, the live-action Cinderella and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, will be the movie’s composer.Sergeant Stubby Movie Premier in Nort...Date and Time
