From release: A24’s The Legend of Ochi looks like an adorable fantasy adventure in first trailer.
The next big release from A24 might also be its cutest to date. The studio just released the first trailer for The Legend of Ochi, a fantasy adventure that also happens to star a cute-as-hell creature to rival Grogu.
While it looks like a somewhat familiar “kid befriends mysterious creature” story, the film does have some interesting aspects, including not only the titular critter, but also what appears to be some kind of post-apocalyptic fantasy setting. Here’s the official description:
In a remote northern village, a young girl, Yuri, is raised to never go outside after dark and to fear the reclusive forest creatures known as the ochi. When a baby ochi is left behind by its pack, she embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to reunite it with its family.
The Legend of Ochi comes from writer and director Isaiah Saxon, who previously made a number of music videos for the likes of Björk, and is making his feature debut here. The cast includes Helena Zengel, Finn Wolfhard, Emily Watson, and Willem Dafoe.
