We are big fans of French animator Michel Ocelot around here. His Kirikou and the Sorceress is a legitimate classic - such a strong film that it was picked up and championed by Studio Ghibli in Japan, a sure sign of quality - and we've been anxiously awaiting English friendly releases of both his Kirikou sequel - Kirikou and the Wild Beasts - and his latest effort, the Arabian Nights inspired fairy tale Azure and Asmar. No word yet on the arrival of Kirikou - if anybody knows anything about that one, I'd love to hear from you - but Azur and Asmar is about to receive a limited theatrical release in the UK via the stellar Soda Pictures which means both that a DVD release can't be far off and that there is also an English language trailer. Very tasty. You'll find the new English trailer and the original French trailers in the Twitch Player embedded below the break.
