Watch an exclusive clip from the all-new 3DCG film; from the mind of Clive Barker comes… a rogue meteor… a mysterious virus… and one very bad night at the zoo… who could imagine zoo animals turning into zombies? David Harbour, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, and Scott Thompson star.
Tickets are on sale now for Night of the Zoopocalypse, the all-new 3DCG animated comedy coming to North American Theaters March 7. Produced at Mac Guff (Despicable Me) and L’Atelier Animation (Leap!, Fireheart), the film stars David Harbour (Stranger Things, Black Widow), Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (The Mandalorian), Scott Thompson (The Kids in the Hall) and introduces Gabbi Kosmidis.
All from the mind of Clive Barker!
In the film, when a meteor crashes into Colepepper Zoo, a virus that transforms the animals into slobbering zombie-like mutants is unleashed. Gracie (Kosmidis), a young quirky wolf, teams up with a gruff mountain lion named Dan (Harbour) to find a way back to her pack. As the zoo is overrun, they must come up with a plan to get all the animals back to normal. Together with the help of a motley crew of survivors – Xavier (Pierre Simpson), the movie-obsessed lemur, Frida the fiery capybara, Ash (Thompson) the sarcastic, fabulous ostrich and Felix (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) the treacherous monkey - they embark on a perilous mission to rescue the zoo and defeat Bunny Zero, the deranged mutant-king determined to spread the virus beyond the zoo walls. Welcome to… THE ZOOPOCALYPSE!
Night of the Zoopocalypse is written by Steven Hoban and James Kee and co-directed by veteran animators and story artists Ricardo Curtis (The Incredibles, Monsters, Inc.) and Rodrigo Perez-Castro (The Book of Life, Ferdinand) whose combined list of credits, in various roles, include the Ice Age movies, Angry Birds and Rio through animation pre-production studio House of Cool (Paw Patrol, The Peanuts Movie, Despicable Me).
Hoban and Mark Smith of Academy Award-winning Canadian production company Copperheart Entertainment (Ryan, Splice, The Peripheral), produce, with Charades Productions, Umedia and IDL Films co-producing in association with House of Cool, Apollo Films, and Mac Guff.
