When the world of CGI intertwines with that of animation, it marks the beginning of a remarkable production. Whether it is the 2014 film Expelled from Paradise or Godzilla Singular Point from 2021, the versatility of CGI in anime enhances the overall experience for the audience. Adding to this unique visual experience, Toei Animation has announced Hypergalactic, a CGI animated film, slated to release in February 2024.
Naoto Oshima, known for his work in Sonic the Hedgehog, has teamed up with Joseph Chou to work on this groundbreaking project. As such, the two are crafting the narrative while David N. Weiss is handling the direction of the film.
The high-profile cast members include Elsie Fisher, Adam Devine, J.K. Simmons, and Sam Richardson. Their involvement with Toei Animation is an indication that viewers can rely on this collaboration.
Fisher is playing the role of the protagonist, who embarks on a journey into the near future. Meanwhile, Okhan, played by Adam Devine, assumes the role of Earth’s forgotten guardian. Their fates intertwine as the former, along with her infant brother, ventures with Okhan, who is responsible for reuniting the siblings with their parents.
