nWave Pictures, a multinational producer and distributor of immersive 3D/4D content, has revealed that its newest title, The Inseparables, will debut this June at France’s Annecy Film Festival, the biggest animation event in the world. The studio has now released a teaser trailer and poster for the new buddy adventure tale, which comes from the writers of Toy Story and is a collaboration between nWave studios, Octopolis and A Contracorriente.
During the film festival, producer and nWave CEO Matthieu Zeller and director Jérémie Degruson will introduce viewers to a new duo of original characters and their misadventures. The animated film centres around a runaway puppet with a huge imagination and an abandoned stuffed animal toy. They come across each other in Central Park and join forces for an epic adventure of friendship in New York City.
Title will also be available as 3D/4D attraction film
Zeller says: “We couldn’t dream of a better launchpad for The Inseparables than Annecy, a high-end festival which fosters the very same diversity and vitality of animation that we’re thriving on at nWave. It feels like the perfect place for us to share with audiences this imaginative, ambitious and audacious project of heart, which we feel reflects our European roots and our ability to tell universal stories“
Degruson (The House of Magic, Bigfoot Junior and Bigfoot Family) adds: “I can’t wait to be back and present our new movie in person in Annecy to animation-loving crowds from all around the world, who are gathered by a same passion for quality animation and for creativity which is the soul of Annecy and the spice of my work as a director.”
The film will also be available as a 4D/3D attraction film for theme parks and FECS. The title of the attraction has not yet been announced, but visitors can be sure they will get the same level of quality and immersion that they have come to expect from nWave studios.
The Inseparables will be released in autumn 2023.
Last year, the nWave team attended both IAAPA Expo Europe in London and IAAPA Expo in Orlando, where they showcased the adventure-filled 4D/3D attraction film: Meg and the Lost Scepter. This is a follow-up to the firm’s feature film Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness.
