The 66th edition of the BFI London Film Festival announced its lineup of 22 films which will world premiere at this year’s event, including a pair of the season’s most coveted animation debuts in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and Nora Twomey’s My Father’s Dragon.
Indie features The Blue Rose of Forgetfulness from experimental animator/filmmaker Lewis Klahr and live-action/stop-motion hybrid The Store from Ami-ro Sköld will also world premiere at the U.K. festival.
Just yesterday, Netflix announced that My Father’s Dragon will get a limited theatrical run in November before hitting the platform that same month. Similarly, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio will play in select theaters before hitting Netflix worldwide on December 9.
