Ne Zha 2 and the State of Foreign Animation Distribution - Renegade Animation #189
In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru are joined by a Crazy Lemur to share their thoughts on the state of foreign animation distribution, using the recent announcement regarding Ne Zha 2 as a springboard for the discussion!
What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-host, the Animation Guru! Just a few days after we recorded the previous episode, we saw the announcement that A24 is teaming up with CMC Pictures to re-release the Chinese animated blockbuster Ne Zha 2 in theaters on August 22nd, with an English-language cast featuring Michelle Yeoh. Naturally, we had to rope in our editor extraordinaire Bri to this conversation. So without further ado, please tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion!
That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us! We have also provided a link to the GoFundMe page for a good friend of mine, who’s asking for help to cover the cost for urgent treatment for his dog Grayson. https://www.gofundme.com/f/my-sidekick-needs-help?attribution_id=sl:ce2144b7-f41f-4df9-bda4-be4ca9e67495&lang=en_US&utm_campaign=man_ss_icons&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link
