- In development, Pookoo (Skydance), and of unknown animal content, Spellbound.
A little more info about the production behind Heroes of the Golden Masks. Originally I thought it was a Canadian studio trying to attract Chinese audiences, but now I think it's the other way around. While the main director and writers seem to be Canadian, the financing and higher-end executive production seems to be firmly Chinese. It looks as if this is a China-commissioned film, set in China, outsourced to one or more Canadian studios, possibly with the intent of trying to make it attractive to Western audiences. (Oddly, the MKV copy I found has Brazilian Portuguese and English audio tracks.)
And some extra discoveries:
- Let's get this out of the way early. The Garfield Movie. Several fake "trailers" exist, showing the 2004 trailer instead.
- Inspector Sun and the Curse of the Black Widow (2022, Spain) [I=5.2, RT=78/44] (or just Inspector Sun). Anthro bugs. "A noirish fiction set in a seaplane from Shanghai to San Francisco in 1934, the plot follows anthropomorphic spider Inspector Sun in a mission against his foe, the Red Locust, with the mystery vis-à-vis the death of Dr. Spindelthorp as a backdrop." Not available for streaming yet?
- But I think what will be of more immediate interest here, The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday (DreamWorks), a half-hour Christmas special to be released at the end of November, that takes place before the events of the film.
- And last but certainly not least, an anime film that looks interesting - The Concierge. I think this has been out for a while, but now Crunchyroll is picking it up. Aka The Concierge at Hokkyoku Department Store, or Hokkyoku Hyakkaten no Concierge-san. Akino is a human starting her new job as a saleswoman at the elegant and expansive Hokkyoku Department Store, where the customers are all animals.
Animated film update, thanks to Mink!
- We finally have a last-minute trailer for Under the Boardwalk.
- A little more info about Night of the Zoopocalypse.
- In development, Pookoo (Skydance), and of unknown animal content, Spellbound.

Then there's a couple more things from Netflix:
- In production, Thelma the Unicorn.
- Likewise, I, Chihuahua.
