Watch the UK trailer for Phantom Boy

Phantom Boy, the stylish new noir caper from the Academy Award-nominated directors of A Cat In Paris, Alain Gagnol and Jean-Loup Felicioli, set in the shadowy alleyways of New York.

Leo has a secret. A mysterious illness has transformed him into a phantom boy, able to leave the confines of his body and explore the city as a ghostly apparition. While in the hospital, he befriends Alex, a New York City cop injured while attempting to capture a nefarious gangster who has taken control of the city’s power supply, throwing the metropolis into chaos. Now they must form an extraordinary duo, using Leo’s phantom powers and Alex’s detective work to foil the plot and save New York from destruction. Phantom Boy continues Gagnol and Felicioli’s fascination with animated film noir, in a heart-thumping adventure that pushes their trademark visual style to literal new heights, as Leo swoops and soars above the greatest skyline in the world.

The film features the voices of Vincent D’Onofrio, Jared Padalecki and Fred Armisen.

Phantom Boy opens in the UK on 21st October 2016.
