Ozi, Voice of the Forest, an animated film directed by Tim Harper, invites young viewers and their families on a thrilling adventure into the heart of the rainforest. Through the eyes of a courageous young orangutan, the film explores essential themes such as environmental protection, the importance of family and the bonds of friendship.
Ozi, la voix de la forêt will be shown on the big screen from April 2, 2025.
Synopsis: Ozi, a young orangutan, is separated from her parents by a forest fire. She grows up in a reserve, surrounded by other animals who have become her friends. But one day, guided by instinct, she decides to set off in search of her family. In her quest, she discovers the beauty of nature, but also the dangers that threaten it. Ozi embarks on an incredible adventure to find her parents and save the rainforest.
Ozi, the voice of the forest is aimed primarily at families with young children (aged 3 and over), but also at fans of animated stories with a strong environmental message. Nature lovers and those sensitive to the animal cause will find a captivating and educational story.
The film is reminiscent of classics such as The Lion King and Arlo's Journey, thanks to its blend of family drama, adventure and wonder. The film's focus on the rainforest and the dangers that threaten it also makes it a committed work, in line with other productions that raise young audiences' awareness of ecology, such as Là-haut or Ponyo sur la falaise.
Thanks to its endearing characters and high-quality animation, the film has the potential to make a lasting impression, while raising awareness of urgent ecological issues.
Director Tim Harper teamed up with Ricky Roxburgh, a screenwriter who has worked on projects such as Rapunzel: The Series, to craft a dynamic and moving plot. The sumptuous sets and vibrant color palette help immerse viewers in the wonders (and perils) of the rainforest.
With its enchanting visuals and message deeply rooted in environmental protection, Ozi, Voice of the Forest promises an unforgettable experience for young and old alike. A story of friendship and courage that both raises awareness and entertains, it is sure to find its place among the great animated films of the future.
