Vision Films Announces VOD Release of 'Dalia And The Red Book'
Vision Films Inc. has officially announced that it will be releasing the captivating animated film,
'Dalia And The Red Book', on May 6, 2025, exclusively for North American audiences through Transactional VOD. This uniquely crafted feature film has already garnered significant attention, being nominated for Best Animation at the prestigious Platino Awards. The film was acquired during the Berlinale, which adds to its remarkable pedigree.
The project is helmed by the accomplished writer and director
David Bisbano, and produced by a vibrant collaboration of studios, including Argentina’s
Vista Sur,
Mi Perro Producciones, and Spain's
Doce Studios, along with partners from Latin America and beyond, demonstrating a commendable global effort in animation.
A Blend of Techniques
One of the most fascinating aspects of 'Dalia And The Red Book' is its innovative use of technology, merging
Epic Games' Unreal Engine with a mix of CGI, stop-motion, and traditional 2D animation techniques. This enhances the film’s appeal, inviting viewers into a fantastical literary universe filled with whimsical characters who are attempting to narrate the conclusion of their own story.
The plot centers around a young girl who discovers her late father's unfinished manuscript. Drawn into this enchanting fictional world by characters eager to complete the tale, she allies with a brave goat—her own creation—to help bring her father's vision to fruition, while also racing against time to avoid being trapped in their realm forever.
Accolades and Festivals
Critics have already compared the film to the dark fantasy style of
Guillermo Del Toro, drawing parallels to notable works such as
Pan's Labyrinth. It is said to resonate with themes found in popular narratives like
Coraline and
The Neverending Story, while also showcasing hints of inspiration from
Hayao Miyazaki and other Studio Ghibli classics.
