Film Information
A wondrous odyssey filled with hope and optimism for our future, Arco is an enchanting fable from breakout filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu. The film features an incredible voice cast with child actors Romy Fay and Juliano Valdi voice Iris and Arco in the English version, while additional cast members include Portman, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Flea, Mark Ruffalo, and Andy Samberg.
When a 10-year-old boy from a peaceful, distant future accidentally travels back to the year 2075, he discovers a world in peril. As Arco develops a charming and touching friendship with a young girl named Iris, they band together and along with her trusted robot caretaker Mikki, set out on a quest to get Arco home, while the two children may also be the only ones who can save our planet.
Reviews
"Ultimately, this is a film about the power of friendship, about the fruits it can bear; on that level, “Arco” often feels the best type of children’s film. It doesn’t condescend to its audience, nor does it short-change the truth of our world and its troubles. (On the contrary, the consequences faced by these characters are at times jarringly real.)" – Roger Ebert
