GKIDS will be releasing “Ghost Cat Anzu” to theaters starting Friday, Nov. 15.
Precocious tween Karin finds herself abandoned by her father in rural Japan. Living in a temple with her grandfather, she meets Anzu, a giant “ghost cat” and notorious layabout tasked with looking after her.
Distrustful of her new guardian, Karin sabotages Anzu’s odd jobs for the townsfolk and befriends the eccentric local forest spirits. In an effort to win Karin over, Anzu accidentally makes a deal with the devil, and all hell breaks loose.
“Ghost Cat Anzu” is co-directed by renowned artist Yoko Kuno, who makes her feature directorial debut, and Nobuhiro Yamashita, the acclaimed director of “Linda Linda Linda.” Co-produced by Shin-Ei Animation and Miyu Productions with music by legendary musician Keiichi Suzuki (“EarthBound”).
