Overview
- The French animated feature opened a one‑week qualifying engagement in New York and Los Angeles on Nov. 14, with a wider U.S. theatrical release slated for January 2026.
- Early U.S. reviews laud the film’s 2D hand‑drawn look and its climate‑conscious contrast between a verdant far future and a peril‑streaked 2075.
- Critics note a hopeful tone centered on friendship and resilience, with frequent visual comparisons to Studio Ghibli and Moebius.
- Some reviews question the film’s pacing and limited worldbuilding even as they single out its imagery and environmental themes as standouts.
- Neon’s English‑language dub features Natalie Portman, Will Ferrell, Mark Ruffalo, Andy Samberg, and Flea, though several reviewers prefer the original French performances.
