PREVIEW: Miss Moxy (2026 Film) - "A Journey Home for All Ages"

Preview by Jon Donnis

Inspired by an astonishing true story, Miss Moxy is set to charm family audiences when it arrives in UK and Irish cinemas from 16th January, bringing warmth, adventure and a gentle sense of wonder to the big screen.

At the heart of the film is Miss Moxy herself, a pampered city cat whose comfortable life is turned upside down while on holiday in France. After being kidnapped, she manages to escape and is suddenly thrust into a vast and unfamiliar world. What follows is an epic journey across Europe, filled with unexpected challenges and moments of quiet reflection.

Along the way, Miss Moxy forms an unlikely bond with two travelling companions. A clumsy but loyal dog and a wise old swallow help guide her path home, each offering their own perspective on survival, trust and companionship. Together, the trio navigate the road ahead, learning that friendship can come from the most surprising places.

Beyond the adventure, the film carries a heartfelt message about acceptance and self discovery. Miss Moxy's journey is as much about finding her way home as it is about understanding who she really is once her old comforts are stripped away.

The story is rooted in real life, inspired by the remarkable true tale of Boo, a tabby cat who found her way back home after 13 years. That extraordinary journey adds an extra layer of emotional resonance, grounding the animation in something deeply human and relatable.

With its beautiful animation and uplifting tone, Miss Moxy promises a touching cinematic experience for audiences of all ages. 

Presented by Dazzler Media, this family friendly adventure opens in UK and Irish cinemas from 16th January.
