Chimney Town: Frozen In Time Trailer Debuts Ahead Of Berlinale Premiere

Studio4°C has released the first English-subtitled trailer for "Chimney Town: Frozen in Time," the sequel to the 2020 film "Poupelle of Chimney Town." The trailer debuted exclusively on Cartoon Brew ahead of the film's world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it will screen in the Generation Kplus section, a program dedicated to young audiences and family animation. Directed by Yusuke Hirota, the sequel follows young Lubicchi as he enters the Millennium Fortress, a surreal realm where time has stopped. The trailer showcases the studio's hybrid visual style, blending CG characters with 2D textures and lines against intricately layered backgrounds. Director Hirota said the film explores themes of waiting with courage and conviction in a world that demands convenience and instant results. The Berlinale's Generation strand and its European Film Market have placed increased emphasis on animated films and projects, making this a significant festival platform for the expanding franchise.

GKIDS will screen a new 4K remaster of the 2006 anime film Tekkonkinkreet in North American theaters on May 31 and June 1. The two-night event marks the 20th anniversary of the feature, which was directed by Michael Arias and animated by STUDIO4°C. It is the first nationwide U.S. theatrical release for the title.

A 4K UHD Blu-ray and digital download release will follow later in the year, though no date was given. The film adapts the Eisner Award-winning manga by Taiyo Matsumoto.

The remaster continues an active period between GKIDS and STUDIO4°C. The distributor released the studio's All You Need is Kill in January and will release ChaO on April 10.
