YELLOWBIRD is Flying Your Way: animated movie news from Fred Patten.
by Patch O'Furr
Fred Patten, Furry’s favorite historian and reviewer, tells me:
A brand-new French animated very anthropomorphic movie, Yellowbird, that I’ve never heard of, is going to be shown in the USA. According to information mostly from Jerry Beck’s Animation Scoop website, Yellowbird is directed by Christian De Vita and produced by the TeamTO Studio in Paris. It won’t even be released in France until February 18, 2015. Wreckin Hill Entertainment, an American distributor, has bought the American rights and will give it a brief theatrical release in December, with a DVD release in April 2015. From the poster and the trailer, the American voice dub has already been completed. The Cartoon Brew says that the announced American release is in only five theaters in the Detroit area, and that the only American review so far says that it’s only for 4 to 7 year olds — which the trailer does not imply.
