Lionsgate will be releasing the European animated import Cricket & Antoinette next month, bringing a new take on the classic Aesop’s fable of the ant and the grasshopper to Digital and On Demand on September 24. A new trailer for the English-language dub has also arrived with the announcement.
Synopsis: When Antoinette, a hardworking ant, finds herself in the land of crickets, she’s shocked they don’t believe that winter is coming. When she falls for a handsome cricket rock star and joins his band, she plans to sing songs that warn of bad weather. But a meddling ant comes to “rescue” Antoinette, hoping to win her heart. Can she make it back to the crickets — and find her voice — in time for the Roachella Festival?
Featuring the voices of Raini Rodriguez, David Henrie, Charles Sothers, Marlene Marcos and Federico Slezynger, Cricket & Antoinette is produced by Diedra studio in Croatia. The 3D CG film is directed by Luka Rukavina (Brija).
