The brand new story is set on the edge of a majestic waterfall in the spectacular Zambezi River Valley , nestled in the shell of an enormous Baobab tree where is a bustling city of birds called Zambezia.
3D Stereoscopic feature of the same name takes an amazing voice cast that includes Abigail Breslin, Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy and Samuel L.Jackson alongside additional voice talent Jeremy Suarez (Brother Bear), Richard E. Grant (Corpse Bride), Jennifer Lewis (Cars) and Jim Cummings (Shrek).
A Cape Town based Triggerfish Animation Studios partnered with San Francisco-based Wonderful Works on the production of the newest, soon to be released animated 3D film, Zambezia 3D. The team at Triggerfish reportedly said:
“The central theme of the story was penned by South African writers, so it made sense for the film to be produced by a studio who has always been passionate about telling African, yet universally appealing stories. The Wonderful Works studio, saw the potential of an independent studio presenting original stories from South Africa alongside big Hollywood animation studios which meant that we had to make sure that the movie’s local flavour and humour would also appeal to Ameracan audiences.”
Zambezia follows the adventures of Kai, a flying daredevil young falcon (Suarez) who leaves his remote outpost against his father’s wishes to join the prestigious Hurricane defense patrol that flies the skies keeping Zambezia safe in the heart of Africa. When Kai’s father (Jackson) is captured by the notorious iguana lizard Budzo (Cummings), he and his newly found soulmate Zoe (Breslin) gather all their friends to save their bird sanctuary.
“Zambezia in 3D” is released and distributed by Captive Cinema.
