Joshua Heaton-Armstrong, digital marketing manager at Sony Pictures, said: "We are hoping to offer our users something more than just watching the trailer on the websites -- they can now choose to watch it in their personal space in their own time. This is especially important to the younger generation who have grown up with technology."

The campaign, which is targeted at children aged eight to 14, will go live today to coincide with the launch of the movie.

Natalie Wilkie, account director at Spinnaker, said: "On the Sony account we are always trying to connect with the consumers in new ways. Allowing consumers to take our content and share it with their friends gives the consumers choice and in turn enhances targeting."
