My Chemical Romance<\/a> have released a new animated short film with a pretty formidable voice cast, including Phoebe Bridgers<\/a>, Billie Eilish<\/a>, Hideo Kojima, and actor John C. McGinley. \u201cPrelude to the End,\u201d a collaboration with visual artist Lauren Tsai, arrives just after the band dropped a 20th-anniversary reissue of their album The Black Parade last week. Check it out below.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrelude to The End\u201d follows Astrid, a girl studying at a boarding school in New England overrun with trash. After falling down the school\u2019s garbage chute in search of a beloved sketchbook, she enters a new, uncanny realm of old ideas that come to life. Bridgers voices Astrid\u2019s sister, while Eilish lends her vocals to Astrid\u2019s close friend. Kojima plays a character called the Teacher, and McGinley voices an even more imposing administrative figure: The Dean. The film includes a live recording of Pascal Dusapin\u2019s Flying River, Violin Concerto, performed by Utopia Orchestra and conducted by Giuseppe Mengoli.<\/p>\n

My Chemical Romance plan to screen the film at two forthcoming Hollywood Bowl shows on October 30 and 31. They mark the final two nights of the band\u2019s five-night residency at the Los Angeles venue, part of a larger ongoing tour<\/a> celebrating The Black Parade\u2019s big 20th. The run kicked off last year, and MCR also played the record in full<\/a> at the festival When We Were Young in 2024.<\/p>\n
