**“Parasite”** Oscar winner Bong Joon Ho unveils his debut animated feature “Ally,” which is eyeing a 2027 theatrical release.
> **The story centers on** a piglet squid named Ally who inhabits the little-explored depths of the South Pacific Ocean, harboring ambitions of reaching the surface and one day featuring in a wildlife documentary. Her world is upended when an aircraft goes down into the sea, setting her on an unlikely journey upward alongside a mismatched group of companions.
omg 2027?? i love bong joon ho but that’s literally forever from now.. parasite was so good tho so i’ll wait i guess.
Jeez, it was known that he was working on an animation but I didn’t expect it to seem so… family friendly.
Btw, the guy who’s collaborating with Bong on the screenplay is Jason Yu, the director of Sleep (2023), which is an excellent thriller. Highly recommended.
Bong doing animation was already enough for me, but that first image makes this feel even weirder and more exciting. 2027 cannot come soon enough.
I really liked Bong’s first steps into work with animated elements on Okja, so I’m open towards a fully animated film from him, & I won’t be surprised if he’s capable of going full prime Pixar in building the emotional feel with this (which makes it perfect that someone on his team for this movie worked on several Pixar films).
Is this the Werner Herzog one?
Was this originally ‘The Valley’ ? Just was looking at this the other day
