Pucca in a red dress leaps mid-air above the tiled rooftops of Sooga Village at night, cherry blossom petals swirling around her, a huge full moon behind her.

Pucca

In development Feature animation Release date TBA

01 / The world

Sooga Village

She has been running for twenty-five years.

Pucca was created in 2000 and has been running ever since. She has traveled to more than 120 countries, built a YouTube audience of 2M+ subscribers and appeared across Disney, Netflix and Amazon Prime. A generation grew up with her. The film gives that generation a reason to come back to the cinema.

Pucca and the Sooga Village cast on the rooftops at dusk, with lanterns and cherry blossoms behind them.
Pucca / Sooga Village Concept
  • The hero

    Pucca

    In love with Garu. Never gives up. Never slows down.

  • The ninja

    Garu

    Silent. Stoic. Always in the way of his own rescue.

  • The world

    Sooga Village

    A village full of friends, rivals and trouble.

  • The tone

    Love. Comedy. Adventure.

    Big heart, fast feet, a new adventure every time.

The world already exists. We are giving it a bigger screen.

02 / The audience

A global character with a head start.

Pucca is not a new IP. She is a known character with a global footprint, a visual language that reads without dialogue, and an audience that already knows the joke. The film does not need to explain her. It needs to give her a story worth the wait.

She has appeared on Disney, Netflix and Amazon Prime. That is a distribution history most new animated films would envy.

03 / Why now

A new chapter, not a reboot.

The audience that grew up with Pucca is now old enough to take their own children to the cinema. The film is designed for that reunion: the same character, the same heart, a bigger world and a story that works for both generations.

The character's visual comedy travels without language. That makes her unusually well suited to a global theatrical release, and to the markets where Pucca already has a following.

  • 01

    Two generations

    One audience.

  • 02

    A visual language that needs no translation.

    The next chapter.
