Small heroes are in for a big adventure in Epic Tails, a new CG-animated family comedy imbued with mythological magic coming to theaters next year. Distributor Studiocanal UK recently revealed the new English-language trailer for the pic, which will open in U.K. cinemas on February 10.
Epic Tails tells the story of super-smart mouse Pattie and her feline friend Sam, as they embark upon an exciting adventure of paw-some proportions through Ancient Greece. With a little help from ageing hero Jason, the animals’ quest brings them face to face with some the most bizarre and dangerous creatures from Greek mythology, as they race to halt the threat posed to their city by Poseidon himself.
The English-language version features the special guest voices of comedian Rob Beckett (Cinderella 2021), Giovanna Fletcher (The Savages) and Josh Widdicombe (Josh) as the many Gods of Mount Olympus, including Zeus, Poseidon and Aphrodite.
Produced by Toulouse-based studio TAT Productions as Pattie et la colère de Poséidon (Pattie and the Wrath of Poseidon), the film is led by The Jungle Bunch director David Alaux and producer Jean-François Tosti, who both co-founded TAT with writer Éric Tosti in 2000.
The movie premiered at the Cinémed festival in Montpellier in October, and is due to open in France on January 25. Viva Kids has acquired U.S. rights from worldwide sales agent Kinology, under the title Argonuts.
