"You're no captain, and that's no ship." The Orchard has released the official Us trailer for a stop-motion animated film titled Captain Morten and the Spider Queen, which is actually more of a kids fairy tale despite that ominous title. This premiered at the Annecy Film Festival last year, and is getting a direct-to-vod release in the Us in February. The film is about a ten year old boy who is waiting for his sailor father to return home. He accidentally floods a cafe and is magically shrunk down to the size of an insect, where he must find a way to sail his toy boat and outsmart the other insects in order to save the day. Featuring the voices of Michael McElhatton, Ciarán Hinds, Brendan Gleeson, and Susie Power. It's a very goofy film, with some seriously creepy character design. A bit too weird to be enjoyable but might entice a viewers.

"Catch those kids!" The Orchard has debuted an official Us trailer for an animated film from Denmark titled Up and Away, based on the Danish novel "Hodja fra Pjort". The film is about a boy named Hodja from the town of Pjort, who borrows a flying carpet to see the world. In return he has to find and return "diamond" to her grandfather. Of course, the "all-eating" Sultan wants to get his hands on Hodja's flying carpet. I'm not really sure why this is a Danish movie, as it's basically the classic Middle Eastern magic carpet story retold once again. The English language voice cast of Up and Away includes Eoin McCormick, Lucy Carolan, Marcus Lamb, Dermot Magennis, Doireann Ni Chorragain, Gary Cooke, Paul Tylak, and Susie Power. This really seems like an Aladdin ripoff, but perhaps that's the whole point - rehash the same story. Here's the official Us...
