The English-language version of award-winning animated feature Arco – featuring the voices of Natalie Portman, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Flea and Mark Ruffalo and Andy Samberg – hits select U.S. cinemas on November 14.
Neon, which acquired the movie out of Cannes where the French-language version debuted as a Special Screening, has dropped a trailer for its re-voiced version.
Directed by French illustrator Ugo Bienvenue, Arco follows the adventures of a titular 10-year-old time-traveling, rainbow-child who accidentally travels to 2075, where he discovers a planet in crisis.
He befriends a young girl named Iris. Along with her trusted robot caretaker Mikki, they set off on a quest to get Arco home and discover they may also be the only ones who can save earth.
The film, which is being positioned as a Best Animation Oscar contender by Neon, debuted its English-language version in Toronto’s Centrepiece sidebar in September. Prior to that, the film won the Cristal Award for best feature at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.
Portman produced the movie with Sophie Mas under their joint Paris and New York banner MountainA alongside Bienvenu and Félix de Givry at Paris-based Remembers.
