"Classic 2D animation may not be as prevalent as it once was, but some of the stuff we're getting over the last few years has been incredible. That includes future classics like Mars Express and Scavengers Reign, and now you can add the Moebius-inspired Arco to the list. After making a splash on the festival circuit last year, the film is finally hitting theaters more widely on January 30th, so you can see it for yourself."
"Arco 's story is split across two time periods. In the distant future, humanity lives in cities elevated above the surface due to rising sea levels, but they've also developed the ability to time travel in order to scour the past for useful things like extinct seeds. Traveling through time has an almost magical feeling here; you do it while flying, powered by colorful suits and special crystals, and the result looks like a rainbow spreading across the sky."
Arco is a Moebius-inspired, classic 2D-animated science fiction film that premiered on the festival circuit and expanded to wider theatrical release on January 30th. The narrative spans two time periods: a distant future of cities elevated above rising seas and the past scavenged for extinct seeds. Time travel is performed by flight using colorful suits and special crystals, producing rainbow-like visuals. A rule requires flyers to be at least 12 years old. A restless 10-year-old named Arco (Juliano Krue Valdi) borrows his sister's gear, travels to the past, and becomes trapped, driving the film's central conflict.
