Ahead of its World Premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival as an Official Selection for the new Annecy Presents section, an official trailer has arrived for the tasty new family comedy-adventure The Sloth Lane, from Brisbane-based Like A Photon Creative (Combat Wombat, Daisy Quokka). The furry food truckers make their Aussie cinema debut on July 25, following a domestic premiere at the Sydney Film Festival.
The heartwarming “Aussie-mation” about a family of sloths who take their prized family recipe book on the road features a roster of local and international voice talent: Dotti Pace, a quick witted cheetah and fast food mogul, is voiced by Leslie Jones (Ghostbusters, Sing); Teo Vergara (Turn up the Volume, Crazy Fun Park) plays speedy sloth Laura; Gabby (Laura’s mother) is voiced by Olivia Vásquez (Thor: Love and Thunder); Ben Gorroño (Regresar al Final, Escisión, Pelícano) voices Luis, a big lovable sloth who gives the best hugs; Mani, the true sloth of the family, is played by Facundo Herrera (Standing Up for Sunny); Remy Hii (Spiderman: Far from Home, Crazy Rich Asians) voices Dotti’s side-kick technician, Platy the Platypus; and Dan Brumm (Bluey, Combat Wombat: Back 2 Back) reprises his role from other “Tales from Sanctuary City” films as the voice of Chief Furbank.
Synopsis: After a terrifying storm destroys their home, a speedy sloth named Laura and her kooky family are forced to move to the big city with nothing but their prized family recipe book — and a rusted old food truck. The family’s delicious food soon catches the eye of a quick witted cheetah named Dotti who will stop at nothing to revive her failing fast food business, Zoom Fuel.
