Sophie Cadieux, Catherine Brunet, Antoine Desrochers, Julie Le Breton, Ludivine Reding and Rodley Pitt lend their voices to the characters in the animated film The legend of the butterflywhich will hit theaters this fall.
Directed by Sophie Roy from a screenplay by Heidi Foss and Lienne Sawatsky, the family feature film tells the story of Patrick, a courageous butterfly who, although he cannot fly because of a wing smaller than the other, wants to participate in the great migratory journey of 5000 km of monarch butterflies. The film also paints the portrait of Geneviève, who fights against her panic fear of heights, and of a caterpillar named Martin. During their journey, the three friends will become heroes after having “overcome their fears, accepted their difference and triumphed over natural predators”, specifies a press release.
The legend of the butterfly is due to open on September 22. It is a production of Marie-Claude Beauchamp (CarpeDiem-Canada, the company behind The war of the 3D toques) and Emely Christians (Ulysses Films-Germany).
