Star-Studded Cast Revealed in First ‘Arco’ Trailer — Will Ferrell, Natalie Portman & America Ferrera Lead Neon’s Animated Film
Neon has dropped the last teaser trailer for its French animated movie “Arco” and also shared who will voice the characters in the English version. The studio confirmed that the English dub will arrive in U.S. theaters on Nov. 14.
According to Neon, the film will feature a strong lineup of voices, including Natalie Portman, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Flea, Mark Ruffalo, and Andy Samberg.
“Arco” is a fantasy adventure directed by French illustrator Ugo Bienvenu, marking his first full-length feature. The movie uses 2D animation and tells the story of a 10-year-old boy who travels back in time from a peaceful future to a much more dangerous past. There, he joins forces with a young girl and a robot as they try to get him home while also working to save the world.
The film first debuted as a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Soon after, Neon picked up the North American distribution rights. The movie continued to build momentum when it won the Cristal Award for Best Feature Film along with the Soundtrack Award at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June.
