Down from the North and Up to the Sky

Here’s a new animated film we’ve been hearing about for a while, but now we finally have a release date (and a new trailer) for Charlie the Wonderdog from Icon Creative Studios in Canada. “This heartfelt animated film follows Charlie the Wonderdog (voiced by Owen Wilson), a beloved family dog; after discovering his superpowers, he sets out to fulfill his destiny and protect the people he loves  — only to learn that real heroism comes from courage, kindness, and believing in yourself.” Look for it in theaters on January 16th of next year.

Astro-Animals

More from MIPCOM: Centauri 5 is a new animated “space comedy” for kids, currently in production at Unicorn Entertainment and China Bridge. “The series follows the adventures of Titan, a Samoyed laboratory dog who was sent on a mission into deep space. After completing his mission, Titan refused to return to Earth and instead launched Centauri 5, a group of heroic former lab animals committed to helping other vulnerable creatures throughout the universe. Titan also wants to find his father, Roman, who was also sent into space years before but never returned. He is supported by Sophie, a fierce and brilliant wildcat scientist; Limbo, a good-natured sloth who’s an expert in AI; Bitsy, a young red panda who is an empath and can feel what others feel; and Drake, a robot who was discarded due to various design flaws which have turned him into a Luddite who believes technology is highly overrated!” Unfortunately we’ll have to wait until 2027 to see the results of all this creativity.

Special Cat Special

Channel 4 in the U.K. have announced an upcoming TV special currently in production: “Following the success of BAFTA-nominated, hand-drawn animated adaptation of Judith Kerr’s classic picture book Mog’s Christmas, Channel 4 has commissioned a seasonal special based on Kerr’s picture book Mog’s Bad Thing... Mog is the Thomas family tabby cat who always finds herself in big trouble. The family are hosting a cat show in their garden which should be Mog’s chance to shine, but in all the excitement she does a “bad thing” which means she hides in the attic feeling sorry for herself and misses the start of the show. Can Mog find a way to leave her hiding place, make her family proud and save the day?” Many of the folks working on this production also worked on The Tiger Who Came To Tea, which we’ve talked about before. Mog’s Bad Thing is scheduled for the holiday season in 2026, and then we’ll to find out if we get see it here in North America!

The Whale of Inspiration

Recently at Cartoon Brew we found out about a new CGI feature film currently in production. The Last Whale Singer is on its way from Telescope Animation in Germany. “Written and directed by Reza Memari, the film follows Vincent, an orphaned teenage humpback whale destined to become the next Whale Singer, a guardian whose mystical song can heal and protect the oceans. But Vincent’s journey to find his voice is both literal and spiritual, mirroring the struggles of anyone learning to overcome fear and self-doubt.” There’s no word yet on the when and where of a release for the film, but the first trailer is in English, so it’s definitely looking for distribution in North America.
