Jingle Bells Meet Wedding Bells in Debut Original Family Film 'A Christmas Wedding Tail'

Online, October 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Featuring Nikki Cox and Jay Mohr as the Voices of Two Love-Struck Canine Companions

Every dog has his day...wedding day, that is! It's puppy love at first sight when Anchor Bay Entertainment unleashes A Christmas Wedding Tail on DVD! Starring wildly popular Jennie Garth and Brad Rowe alongside their cunning canines, the warm and furry, er, fuzzy all-new original family film centers on the challenges and triumphs of love and relationships - of both the two-legged and four-legged variety. Featuring a "top-dog" cast of talent, including Tom Arnold, Catherine Hicks and the voice talent of Jay Mohr as Rusty and Nikki Cox as Cheri, A Christmas Wedding Tail will bring tons of tail-wagging fun to the whole family - just in time for the holiday season! - on DVD December 6. The heartwarming film makes its television debut on Hallmark Channel, November 19, 2011.

"It gives us much joy to help bring families together to celebrate the season with our newest DVD release," said Erin Carter, Executive Director of Brand Marketing for Anchor Bay Entertainment. "From hilarious hijinks and endearing romance to a standout cast of recognizable stars, A Christmas Wedding Tail truly offers something for everyone and is well-poised to become an instant Christmas classic among viewers of all ages."

A Christmas Wedding Tail (SRP $19.98) is the story of a pair of passionate pooches, Labrador Rusty (voiced by Jay Mohr, "Ghost Whisperer", "Jerry McGuire") and Poodle Cheri (voiced by Nikki Cox, "Unhappily Ever After", "Las Vegas"), who fall head-over-tails in love. The two smitten pups conspire to get their respective owners, Susan (Jennie Garth, "Beverly Hills 90210", "What I Like About You", Girl, Positive) and Jake (Brad Rowe, Your Love Never Fails, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, "General Hospital") to wed. Despite Susan's and Jake's compatibility, their new blended family - with five kids! - turns out to be more than Rusty and Cheri had bargained for. Now, the calculating canines must put their poochie powers to the test to keep their family from ending up in the dog house.... A Christmas Wedding Tail proves that a little puppy love can go a long way.

The new DVD also stars Tom Arnold (True Lies, "The Best Damn Sports Show Period") as Susan's eccentric headhunter and Catherine Hicks (Your Love Never Fails, Peggy Sue Got Married, "7th Heaven") as Susan's loving mother.
