One of Mexico’s biggest homegrown cartoon franchises, Huevocartoon, will become the first Mexican animated feature to receive wide theatrical distribution in the United States.
Produced for $5.3 million, Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos (A Rooster With Many Eggs) will premiere stateside September 4, just in time for Labor Day weekend, in approximately four hundred theaters.
The film is directed by Gabriel and Rodolfo Riva Palacio, who also happen to be brothers, and it is produced by their Guadalajara-based studio Huevocartoon Producciones. The film will first premiere on August 21 in their native Mexico through Pantelion Films, a joint venture between Lionsgate Films and Grupo Televisa, prepping the launch pad for the American rollout, also being handled by Pantelion.
