Superspy Zac Power heads to the big screen

Schools are being offered the opportunity to book special early preview screenings of the highly anticipated Zac Power movie ahead of the film's official release.

Produced by leading Australian animation studios Flying Bark Productions and Cheeky Little Media in association with Pixel Zoo Animation Studios, with major production investment from Screen Australia in association with the Australian Children's Television Foundation (ACTF), Zac Power brings one of Australia's most successful children's book series to life in an action-packed animated adventure.

Based on the bestselling Zac Power books by H.I. Larry, which have sold more than 3.5 million copies across Australia and New Zealand and been published in 14 countries, the film introduces a new generation of audiences to Zac's world of gadgets, missions and undercover intrigue. Blending comedy, adventure and heart, the story follows Zac as he strives to remain GIB's top junior spy following the arrival of a talented new rival agent.

The newly released trailer offers a glimpse of the film's vibrant animation, larger-than-life characters and fast-paced storytelling. It features an impressive voice cast, including Parker Little as Zac, alongside Kylie Cantrall, Matt Lucas, David Wenham, Leah Purcell, Ed Oxenbould, Tanya Hennessy and Tim Minchin.

Schools can now book special early preview screenings at their local cinemas ahead of the film's official release on 7 January 2027 via zacpowermovie.com.au.

An education resource to accompany the film will be released in Term 1, 2027, providing curriculum-aligned learning opportunities for primary and lower secondary classrooms.
