Disney+ marks Home Alone's 30th birthday with a spectacular 1.7m gingerbread McCallister house
-Iconic Christmas film set recreated by award winning cake maker-
-The edible McCallister inspired home includes miniature versions of Kevin along with burglars Harry and Marv and other memorable props and moments from the film-
Michelle Wibowo, cake artist who re-created the famous home, said: ‘’I jumped at the chance because it is one of my favourite Christmas movies – it doesn’t really feel like Christmas in our house until we have seen it at least twice! I had so much fun making it look festive and I loved making those cheeky characters Kevin and burglars Harry and Marv. The scene also includes the infamous paint cans, the broken statue and the Christmas wreath on their front door - I hope everyone will enjoy spotting iconic details from the movie!’’
Luke Bradley-Jones, General Manager, Disney EMEA, comments: “I can’t quite believe Home Alone turns 30 this month but it still makes me laugh as much as the first time I saw it all those years ago. This film, along with a whole host of other festive favourites, Hollywood blockbusters and brand new originals are guaranteed to fill you all with festive cheer and we’re looking forward to Disney being a firm favourite with everyone this Christmas.’’
The film follows Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who must protect his home from two burglars after mistakenly being left behind by his family who have flown to Paris for Christmas. Home Alone was a sensation when it hit Belgian shores and spawned two sequels.
The Home Alone gingerbread scene will travel to Royal Marsden Hospital in London, UK where it will be displayed for patients and their families. Children will be able to enjoy the festive creation and, in collaboration with charity MediCinema, screenings of Home Alone will take place throughout the month of December so that children and their loved ones can build festive memories together.
Home Alone is available now to watch on Disney, along with Home Alone 2 and 3. Beloved blockbuster movies such as Frozen and The Muppet Christmas Carol stream alongside new festive Original films such as Noelle starting Anna Kendrick, and Godmothered with Isla Fisher. TV festive specials include LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series: The Holiday Special. Confirmed in October, the brand new film from PIXAR will also stream exclusively on the service on Christmas Day. Soul, stars Jamie Foxx and Tina Fay and introduces Joe Gardner – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth.
