Specialty distributor Gkids has picked up North American rights to directors Yoko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita’s upcoming animated feature “Ghost Cat Anzu,” while Paris-based Charades has boarded th…
, and adapted from a manga by Takashi Imashiro, the family title tracks the tempestuous friendship shared between 11-year Karin, a strong-minded girl sent to live with her monk granddad in the Japanese countryside, and Anzu, the even-more unpredictable phantom feline who acts as her guardian., and is slated for release in 2024.
“From the moment we saw the first drawings and read the script, we knew we needed to be attached and help get this film into the world,” says Gkids director Eric Beckman. “We are huge fans of Yoku Kuno’s animation, of Shin-Ei, and of all the creative works that Miyu champions, [and we have] worked together with Charades on multiple titles from both France and Japan, so this was just a great fit all around.
“This is a film full of yokai and demons… but in the shoot they were all played by humans,” Kuno says. “Which is precisely why I want to preserve all of their very human sweetness, eccentricity, and complex emotions in the drawn world. The setting is an ordinary Japanese countryside town, but by combining the production abilities of Japan and France, I’m certain we’ll create a world that’s even new to Japanese eyes.
Indeed, Shin-Ei’s Michihiko Umezawa and Miyu’s Emmanuel-Alain Raynal both hint at further international partnerships. “By bringing together France and Japan with the United States, the three greatest nations in animation, we are delighted to show that new collaborations are possible, creating new territories of visual and narrative expression, and helping to make animated techniques an ever more lasting part of contemporary cinema history,” says Raynal.

A cat named “Homeboy Thumbs” from Anchorage is angling for a wacky moniker!Zoe McHenry, owner of a cat named Homeboy Thumbs, says he has no idea fame is coming his way, so he’s pretty chill right now. Each year, Nationwide’s pet insurance team celebrates some of the craziest names among its insured pets, and Homeboy Thumbs was among the 'Wacky Pet Names' finalists that were announced recently. He has an unusual condition of having extra toes! The wackiest names in each category will be determined by a public vote that runs through June 9 with the top cat, dog, and exotic pet names being announced on Tuesday, June 13. Naming such a unique cat took time, Zoe recalls. “I started to refer to him as ‘Homeboy’ and ‘Thumbs,’ and I couldn’t pick between them — so I decided to combine the two.” The name was the perfect fit for this fantastically unique feline. “My cat acts like he has street cred, and it’s because he legitimately does. I have no idea how long he was out on the street for,” she says. “He’s also a goofy dude … I thought Homeboy Thumbs was the perfect mix of goofy and gangster, because that’s what he is.” If you have an idea for an Allgood news story, email Dave: AllgoodNewsktuu.com
