Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Nickelodeon has released a new trailer for its forthcoming CG-animated TV movie, Lucky. Premiering Friday, March 8, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon USA, Lucky is a hilarious adventure that follows Hap, the unluckiest leprechaun around, and his search for his family’s lost gold.
The hour-long film stars the voice talents of Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Kira Kosarin (The Thundermans), Ron Funches (Trolls), Flula Borg (Pitch Perfect 2) and Gunnar Sizemore (Ben 10).

Lucky tells the story of Hap McSweeney (Sizemore), a leprechaun cursed with horrible luck after a dragon stole his family’s pot of gold many years ago.
