Inspired by a concept from best-selling genre author Clive Barker (The Thief of Always), upcoming animated feature Night of the Zoopocalypse is set to unleash mutant chaos in a zoo. A first look clip introduces the spooky fun and an all-star voice cast.
Viva Pictures will release Night of the Zoopocalypse only in theaters on March 7, 2025.
The film’s synopsis: “One night, a meteor crashes into Colepepper Zoo unleashing a virus that transforms the animals into strange and hilarious slobbering zombie mutants. Gracie, a young quirky wolf, teams up with a gruff and fearsome mountain lion 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 the movie-obsessed lemur, Frida the fiery capybara, Ash the sarcastic, fabulous ostrich and Felix 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!”
Check out the trailer below, which sees strange mutant animals invade the zoo.
Night of the Zoopocalypse is co-directed by veteran animators and story artists Ricardo Curtis (The Incredibles) and Rodrigo Perez-Castro (The Book of Life).
Genre stalwart David Harbour (Violent Night, Hellboy, “Stranger Things”), Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (“The Mandalorian”), Scott Thompson (“The Kids In The Hall”), and Gabbi Kosmidis (“Unicorn Academy”) lead the voice cast.
The film will premiere at the Sitges Film Festival on October 6. “We’re so excited to be having the world premiere of Night of the Zoopocalypse at the Sitges Fantastic Film Festival. It’s the perfect place to unleash our unusual creatures to thrill and entertain family audiences across the globe,”said Directors Perez-Castro and Curtis.
The film is produced by Steven Hoban’s Copperheart Entertainment and co-produced by Charades Productions, U Media and IDL Films, in association with House of Cool.
