Magic Frame Animation and Creation Entertainment Media announced they have signed new global distribution deals with Dazzler Media and The Plot Pictures, for the animated feature film, Rebellious.
In this modern fairytale, a headstrong princess is kidnapped by an evil sorcerer, Kezabor. The princess’s clever fiancé must use his wit in an epic quest to find her, while the princess boldly challenges her captors and plots her own daring escape.
Dazzler Media will handle distribution of the film in the U.K. and Ireland, where the film will have its domestic release. Following this, The Plot Pictures will distribute the film across MENA regions and Turkey.
Having already secured interest from several global territories, Magic Frame Animation and Creation Entertainment Media introduced the film to further markets and buyers at EFM, where the companies hosted a screening on 17 February.
“After years in the making all the hard work has paid off. Nothing will give me more joy than watching this fantastic animated feature with my kids, at our local cinema and sharing this story around the world,” said Creation Entertainment Media CEO Sefi Carmel.
“Rebellious is a completely modern fairytale, featuring diverse characters and exciting adventures that appeal to audiences everywhere,” said Magic Frame Animation sales and co-productions head Lidia Chirita.
Rebellious is a family adventure film which puts a contemporary spin on the classic fairytale Beauty and the Beast, introducing the “modern princess.” Rather than surrendering to circumstances out of her control, she has autonomy and chooses her own path. Rebellious is set amongst an array of exotic locations including mystical forests and dangerous dungeons.
The studios have attached Annalisa LaBianco (The Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Tom and Jerry in New York) and Jeffery Spencer (Secret Magic Control Agency) to the project, with director Alex Tcitcilin (Secret Magic Control Agency) also onboard. The film’s music is composed by composer and co-producer, Sefi Carmel, and created in Dolby Atmos by SphereTrax. The sound design and Dolby Atmos mixing is by Soundtrack Creation in London.
