Odin’s Eye Animation has picked up sales rights to “Shimmy: The First Monkey King,” an animated family entertainment film that is rare official China-u.S. coproduction. Sales activity will begin at the European Film Market starting next week alongside the Berlin Film Festival.
The story involves Shimmy, a cheeky monkey with newly discovered superhero-like powers who must learn how to control his extraordinary transformative abilities and prevent powerful demonic forces from sending the universe into chaos.
The film is completed and previously envisaged a mid-2022 release, but those plans were derailed by China’s tough anti-covid measures. Delivery is now scheduled for April 2023 with a major Imax and conventional theatrical release pencilled in for June.
It was jointly directed by Ralph Zondag and Dick Zondag.
