GKIDS had finally announced a United States release date for their upcoming animated movie ‘Chicken For Linda!’ which will be released in New York City on April 5th, 2024, at the Angelika Film Center before it starts playing at Los Angeles’ Laemmle Royal on April 12th, 2024.
Following that it will land in additional theaters across the United States on April 15th.
Directed by Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach, the film is a hand-painted dramedy and stars Melinée Leclerc, Clotilde Hesme, Lætitia Dosch, Estéban, Patrick Pineau, Claudine Acs, Scarlett Cholleton, Alenza Dus, and Anais Weller.
According to the official synopsis: “Paulette feels guilty after unjustly punishing her daughter Linda and would do anything to make it up to her. Linda immediately asks for a meal of chicken with peppers, which reminds her of the dish her father used to make. But with a general strike closing stores all across town and pushing people into the streets, this innocent request quickly leads to an outrageous series of events that spirals out of control, as Paulette does everything she can to keep her promise and find a chicken for Linda.
“Directors Chiara Malta (Simple Women) and Sébastien Laudenbach (The Girl Without Hands) unleash a unique visual marvel of hand-painted animation with bright, color-blocked characters, and a story that is an intoxicating blend of slapstick comedy, musical, and family drama, as Paulette and Nina ultimately confront the grief of an unspoken tragedy, and the meal that could finally bring them closer together.”
