Posted on: Monday, 11 December 2006, 18:00 CST

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Starz Kids & Family and Pine Bluff Cable TV will present a special screening of "Eloise: Little Miss Christmas" Sunday, Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. at the Arts and Science Center in Little Rock. Pine Bluff native Mary Matilyn Mouser, the voice behind Starz Kids & Family's new exclusive "Eloise" series, will be the guest of honor.

A Pine Bluff, Ark. native, Mouser started her career at the age of six when she was chosen as a photo-double for Mel Gibson's daughter in Signs. Mouser has done voice work for many animated features such as Bambi 2, Tarzan 2, Pompoko, and The Fox and the Hound 2. She has also appeared in guest starring roles on "CSI,""Without a Trace,""King of Queens,""Monk,""Inconceivable,""Scrubs,""One Life to Live," she currently has a recurring role on "NCIS" as Mark Harmon's daughter, and just finished filming a lead role in the Hallmark film Broken Hearted. At the recent KIDS FIRST! Best of Fest Awards, the KIDS FIRST! Film and Video Festival recently awarded Mouser with the Outstanding Performance Award for her voiceover work in "Eloise."

"Mary Matilyn Mouser is a prime example of the wonderful talent found in Pine Bluff," said Don Deem, acting general manager of Pine Bluff Cable TV. "We are excited to partner with Starz Kids & Family to present her film 'Little Miss Christmas' in her hometown."

The magic of Kay Thompson's storytelling and Hilary Knight's breathtaking illustrations come to life in the "Eloise" series and DVDs, the first-ever animated series based on the classic best-selling children's books. Produced by Film Roman, a Starz Media company, in association with Handmade Films, "Eloise" features the star-studded voice over talent of two-time Oscar(C)-nominee Lynn Redgrave (Georgy Girl, Gods and Monsters), Tim Curry (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Annie), Matthew Lillard (She's All That, Scooby Doo), Curtis Armstrong (Revenge of the Nerds), and young actress Mouser as Eloise.

With New York City's Plaza Hotel as the backdrop, "Eloise" features the precocious and irrepressible little girl who reigns as its unofficial princess. Residing in the hotel with her "rawther" British Nanny and her pets, Weenie the pug and Skipperdee the turtle, Eloise is the quintessential "city child." There is never a dull moment for Eloise as she stays busy, busy, busy roaming the floors of the hotel, plaguing the hotel staff and being absolutely mischievous.

"Eloise" airs exclusively on Starz Kids & Family. Watch the entire series during the "New Year's Day 'Eloise' Marathon" beginning at 6 a.m. (ET/PT) on Monday, Jan. 1, 2007 or visit http://www.starzkidsfamily.com/ for additional scheduling information.

"Eloise" is also available to view on Starz On Demand and download on Vongo, the video download service. Starz Home Entertainment released the specials "Me, Eloise" and "Eloise: Little Miss Christmas" on DVD in October.
