Wicked Flying Monkeys 3D (aka Save OZ!)

 

Alberto Mar

 

90 min. (TBC) / 2014 / Animation 3D /English and Spanish version/16:9/Mexico-India

 

Synopsis

 

Ozzy is an enthusiastic and friendly flying monkey, son of the legendary Goliath, the brave warrior. They serve Evilene - the wicked witch - just as the rest of their kin. But Ozzy is not happy about it and when Evilene's plans put Oz once again in peril, Ozzy reaches out to the 'Champions of Oz' the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tinman, three great friends with incredible qualities that have taken Emerald City to its maximum splendor. Unfortunately, this will not be easy, they have not been themselves lately, and this is putting it mildly, they have gone bananas as of late (flying monkey pun intended), thanks to Evilene of course. On top of that a very angry army of flying monkeys is bent on capturing Ozzy and making sure the Champions are no more.

ParaNorman meets Wallace & Gromit... Trini is the most famous flamingo dancer in the world and she has an envious life. Her husband Gregorio is the greatest bullfighter in all the land and their son Damien has a wonderful future. Everyone loves her dancing, but when a seemingly innocuous domestic accident takes Gregorios life, a deep depression falls over Trini forcing her to quit the stage. Damien's behaviour becomes uncontrollably rebellious forcing Trini to call upon doctor after doctor to provide relief. When no answers can be found, there is left only one possible explanation - Damien has been possessed by a dark spirit!! Trini begins a desperate quest to repair her shattered family. This search eventually leads to a defrocked priest called Father Lenin whose own severe spiritual crisis may not bode well for what lays ahead. With no where to turn and all other hopes to save her shattered family exhausted, Trini must place her faith in a man whose faith is questionable!
