I’ve never heard of Arthur de Pin’s Zombillenium comic books. They’re apparently a big deal overseas, having sold more 300,000 copies, which led to a feature film adaptation that will open this year’s edition of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, running June 12-17.
ScreenDaily shared the first English-language trailer for child-friendly comedy-horror tale featuring a gallery of monsters, zombies, vampires and werewolves in a theme park. The animation is a bit crude but it does look pretty fun for an animated feature that cost $15 million to produce…
Zombillenium, the Halloween theme park, happens to be the one place on earth where real monsters can hide in plain sight. When Hector, a human, threatens to disclose the true identity of his employees, the Vampire Park Manager has no other choice but to hire him. To see his daughter, Hector must escape from his Zombies and Werewolves coworkers.
It is the director’s first feature-length work after a series of animation shorts including The Crab Revolution, which won the audience award at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, and Geraldine.
