Trippy Trailer For Psychedelic Animated Feature SIROCCO & THE KINGDOM OF WINDS
A cool trailer has been released for the French animated feature Sirocco and the Kingdom of Winds, directed by Benoît Chieux (Aunt Hilda!, Melting Heart Cake), from a script by Chieux and Alain Gagnol.
The film originally premiered back in 2023 at the Annecy Film Festival, and got a small US release last year via GKids, but it slipped by, and it may be of interest to some of you who love beautiful animation with abstract stories.
The synopsis reads: “One day, the adventurous Juliette and her sister Carmen find an enchanted toy and get swept away into the Kingdom of the Winds. They are transformed into cats and find themselves in a fantastical new world full of flying divas, technicolor dragons, and other mind-melting creations.
“When Juliette causes an accident that draws the ire of the local inhabitants, the Mayor gives Juliette to the beautiful songstress Selma and sentences Carmen to marry his son as punishment.
“The sisters must find a way to escape before the wedding bells ring, but the key to their journey home lies with Sirocco, the mysterious wizard feared for his ferocious storms.”
