GKIDS’ latest release Phantom Boy is the uniquely drawn noir you’ve been waiting for. In an animated world run by Disney, Pixar, and occasionally Dreamworks, distribution companies like GKIDS (When Marnie Was There, Ernest & Celestine, The Secret of Kells, and more) and directors like Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol are the necessary breath of fresh air that prove there is more than one way to approach this creative category. Nominated in 2010 for their animated feature A Cat in Paris, Felicioli and Gagnol have teamed up again to bring audiences Phantom Boy, the tale of one boy’s journey to become the hero of his own story.
The story is simple. Shortly after being admitted to the hospital to undergo treatment for an extended period of time, Leo discovers he has an ability he didn’t have before. It’s through this newfound power that Leo escapes a reality no eleven year old should have to face. While Leo recovers, escaping his body when resting to soar through New York City’s skyline and roam the rest of the hospital, he stumbles into an injured policeman, Alex. From there, Leo’s adventure begins because outside of the hospital’s walls is New York’s newest villain. With Alex’s knowledge and Leo’s superpower, the two team up to save the city from its newest threat.
