Briarcliff Entertainment has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Stitch Head and will release the film theatrically on October 29. The animated feature held its world premiere at Annecy International Animation Film Festival this past June.
Based on the children’s book series by Guy Bass and adapted by director Steve Hudson, Stitch Head follows a small, forgotten creature living in a long-abandoned castle. Awoken by a Mad Professor, Stitch Head is tasked with protecting the professor’s other wildly inventive creations from the suspicious townspeople of Grubbers Nubbin.
The voice cast includes Asa Butterfield, Joel Fry, Alison Steadman, Rob Brydon, Fern Brady, Tia Bannon, and Jamali Maddix.
“Stitch Head is Frankenstein meets Monsters, Inc; an inspired blend of spooky, funny, and heartwarming storytelling with visually stunning animation by Assemblage Entertainment that will captivate audiences of all ages,” said Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Briarcliff Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to bring families together for a one-of-a-kind experience.”
“Stitch Head is a delightful & funny family film and a terrific credit to the work of Steve, Sonja, Mark, and the whole team,” added Guy Collins, Chairman GFM Animation. “Bringing on board a brilliant U.S distributor such as Tom, is one of the final pieces of the puzzle and we are confident that we are on track to deliver a global hit.”
The film is repped worldwide by GFM Animation and produced by Sonja Ewers and Mark Mertens. Executive producers include Adam Nagle, Mark Rau, Collins, Tom Ortenberg, Ronnie Exley, Jeremy Ross, and Oli Strong. Briarcliff will release Stitch Head in association with Rabbits Black.
