Cranston Academy: Monster Zone Bowing in Australia & New Zealand

Cranston Academy: Monster Zone, an animated feature film from the Latin American animation studio Ánima, is set to be released in Australia and New Zealand next month.

This family adventure film has previously been sold to Mexico, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Italy, CIS and Baltics, Vietnam, the Middle East, the U.K. and South Africa for theatrical release by Double Dutch International (DDI). Cranston Academy: Monster Zone features Jamie Bell (Fantastic Four, Snowpiercer) and Ruby Rose (Batwoman, Orange Is the New Black) in its voice cast.

Cranston Academy: Monster Zone tells the story of 15-year-old genius Danny, who is bullied for his intelligence and struggles to fit in at school; and Liz, the daughter of a famous scientist who wants to be considered a genius in her own right. When Danny is unexpectedly offered a scholarship to Cranston Academy, where Liz is the number one student, a rivalry ignites, leading Danny to inadvertently open a portal to another dimension and unleash a slew of monsters on the school. Putting the rivalry aside, Liz helps Danny along with a half-moth, half-man professor to overcome the creatures of the fifth dimension and save the school.

Fernando De Fuentes Sainz, Ánima CEO, said: “The timing of this announcement could not be better as Cranston Academy: Monster Zone was just recently nominated for a Quirino Awards as one of the Best Ibero-American Animation Feature Films. I am confident this animated adventure will be loved in Australia and New Zealand, as it has around the world.”
