“The Cryptozoo is a sanctuary. A place for all the unloved animals in the world.” So begins the official trailer for Cryptozoo, one of the most imaginative trailers we’ve seen in a long while.
The animated movie looks like nothing we’ve ever seen before, actually, an explosion of imagination and creativity that’s driven by a wonderful message. Expressed in the trailer, “We can only greet the strange and unusual with love. If we show them love, they will return love.”
“And love will spread and envelop all of the beings on our wondrous world.”
Magnolia Pictures will release Cryptozoo everywhere August 20. Watch the trailer below.
“The film follows cryptozookeepers through a richly-drawn hallucinatory world as they struggle to capture a baku (a legendary dream-eating hybrid creature) and begin to wonder if they should display these rare beasts in the confines of a zoo, or if these mythical creatures should remain hidden and unknown.”
Lake Bell, Zoe Kazan, Michael Cera, Louisa Krause, Peter Stormare, Thomas Jay Ryan, Grace Zabriskie and Angeliki Papoulia star in a film written and directed by Dash Shaw.
