Funimation Streams Wolf Children Dub Trailer

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Film opened in theater in Los Angeles on Friday

North American distributor Funimation began streaming the English dub trailer for Mamoru Hosoda's Wolf Children film on Wednesday. The film opened at the Laemmle Town Center 5 theater in Los Angeles on Friday. People in other cities can organize with the Tugg website to bring the film to their local theaters also.

Wolf Children's story covers 13 years and begins with a 19-year-old college student named Hana (Colleen Clinkenbeard) who encounters and falls in "fairy tale-like" love with a "wolf man." After marrying the wolf man, Hana gives birth and raises two wolf children — an older sister named Yuki (Jad Saxton) who was born on a snowy day, and a younger brother named Ame (Micah Solusod) who was born on a rainy day. When the wolf man suddenly dies, Hana decides to move to a rural town far removed from the city.

The film won the Animation of the Year award at this year's Tokyo Anime Awards, won the animation category in the 26th Annual Japan Academy Prizes in March, and won the Animation Film Award at the 67th Annual Mainichi Film Awards in February. Additionally, the film won an Audience Award at this year's New York International Children's Film Festival.
