Cape Town-Made 3D Animation Film “Adventures In Zambezia” Hailed As Success
15 Oct 2012 by Bearded Wiseman in Entertainment, Movies, Video
So far, more than one million people have watched the Cape Town-made 3D animation film “Adventures in Zambezia”. It was released internationally 13 weeks ago, and will screen in Cape Town for the first time this week.
The film, a collaboration between Animation SA, the IDC, NFVF, 120dB, Wonderful Works and CMG will hit Cape screens this week at the Kunjanimation festival taking place in Cape Town.
According to the Weekend Argus, the festival is “focused exclusively on animation which will feature talks, workshops and films.” The film will make its Cape debut to a select audience at the festival’s opening night on Wednesday.
The Argus continued:
The feature-length film tells the story of Kai, a falcon who leaves home to venture to the bird city of Zambezia, and features vocal performances by big-name actors such as Samuel L Jackson, Jeff Goldblum, Richard E Grant and Abigail Breslin.
The film was the number one independent film of the summer in Israel, and went to number two at the box office in Russia. It also won the Best SA Feature Film award at the Durban Film Festival.
Stuart Forrest, Triggerfish chief executive, is stoked:
We are releasing in 70 countries worldwide, so to hit the one million ticket mark with just six countries is a fantastic achievement for us, and for the South African animation industry as a whole.
Triggerfish’s second film, Kumba, which tells the story of a zebra born with only half its stripes, is already in production.
Officially, Adventures in Zambezia will be released locally by Nu Metro on December 26.
