Here is the teaser

Crowning recognition of Alberto Vazquez, one of Spain’s fastest-rising young animation directors, New York’s Gkids has acquired North American distribution rights to “Birdboy: the Forgotten Children,” the first feature of joint directors Vazquez and Pedro Rivero, based on a Vazquez graphic novel and 2011 short film, “Birdboy.”

Also a product of Northern Spain’s building animated movie scene, “Birdboy” is set on an island in a post-apocalyptic world where Dinky, a young teen mouse, hatches a plan to escape to the big city. Birdboy, a shy teen bird tormented by psychotic nightmares of demons, shuts himself up in a nearby lighthouse.

After “Birdboy: the Forgotten Children’s” world premiere at Annecy Festival last June, that is most certainly on the cards thanks to the pick-up by Gkids, which plans a Fall 2017 theatrical release of the film in both its original Spanish and a dubbed English-language version.

Watched it a few weeks ago, I recommend it a lot, also it's very dark treating subjects like mental illness and such.

I'm getting flashbacks to weird artsy Canadian shorts on late night TV.

This is a... good thing?
