RUNTIME

One day, the adventurous Juliette and her sister Carmen find an enchanted toy and get swept away into the Kingdom of Winds. They are transformed into cats and find themselves in a fantastical new world full of flying divas, technicolor dragons, and other mind-melting creations. 


A psychedelic fairy tale years in the making comes with captivating creatures and a vibrant Seussian world, Sirocco and the Kingdom of Winds is a kaleidoscopic fantasy adventure bursting with charm and wonder. “A Truly spectacular psychedelic excursion in the vein of head-trip classics “The Fantastic Planet” and “The Yellow Submarine.” It’s been roughly half a century since those two movies demonstrated just how liberating the medium of animation can be, but you wouldn’t know it to watch Chieux’s hand-drawn curio, which takes the mesmerizing dream logic of such projects and applies is to an “Alice in Wonderland”-style plot.” - Peter Debruge The Variety, 2023
