An independently produced animated film about a spunky teenager. The best comparison I can think of is Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, which only made it to 1625 screens at its widest and brought in $25M total; that had a built-in audience due to all the videos. With no distributor behind this (and they’ve had 5 years to find one!), its chances of doing any better are sketchy. This might not even make it to theaters.

Prinze Jr. will lend his voice to the production as Delgo. The rest of the voice talent has fallen into place nicely also. Still not sure about its chances though, the official site is pretty interesting as are the character designs. Can’t help but think that it is going to be a limited release though, plus no distributor has been named as yet either.

Well, the trailer is up at the official site. I suppose this is pretty decent stuff for a completely new animation studio but one can’t help but think that they’ve bitten off a bit more than they can handle. It’s also clear that they don’t have a Pixar quality script on their hands. IMDb lists something called “Key Creatives” as the distributor; this is the only film listed under that company, which leads one to believe that finding wide distribution will be a challenge.

Two years later and there’s no update. The official site is still up and running, but it doesn’t have anything like “updates” or other newfangled ideas. However, the stock will hang around HSX like a bad smell as long as there’s the slightest chance of it being released. Let’s all hope for a quick STDVD release.
