Description

The monarch butterfly is a true marvel of nature: weighing less than a penny, it makes one of the longest migrations on Earth. The film follows the monarchs' perilous journey and seeks out the millions of them overwintering in remote mountain peaks in Mexico, telling the story of the intrepid scientist who spent 40 years searching for their secret hideaway.

Description

Long lost for over 40 years, Mexico's third animated feature follows the helmet-wearing hero Roy — “I’m Roy from Space. I come from Earth” — as he battles a nonstop stream of synthesizer-voiced robots and flying saucers in the service of the wicked King Alom, a Ming-the-Merciless-like tyrant, while fending off the king's daughter. A wildly strange work of outsider sci-fi animation loosely inspired by the 1930s Flash Gordon serials.
