Must-See Family Animation This Summer! From the Makers of Asterix & Obelix: The Battle of the Chiefs

Premiering as a special event at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2025, Falcon Express has already captivated its first audience, receiving a lengthy standing ovation. This latest creation from TAT Productions is set aboard a runaway train with a diverse group of pets that must learn to work together to survive.

After taking us on a global journey with the Jungle Bunch and navigating the seas with little Patti in “Patti and the Wrath of Poseidon,” the French studio now invites us on board the Falcon Express! It’s a vibrant adventure that has the charm to captivate the whole family.

A Comedy for All Ages!

Indeed, animation isn’t just for kids! Directors Benoît Daffis and Jean-Christian Tassy demonstrate this by delivering a dynamic comedy filled with jokes and references that appeal to all ages.

While the younger viewers will enjoy the engaging team of charming heroes and the film’s positive messages (covering themes like second chances, teamwork, and friendship), Falcon Express also elevates its humor and themes to levels that adults will appreciate.

The movie is incredibly dynamic and humorous, subtly paying tribute to action films of the 90s. With its high-speed train and a villain named Hans, it effortlessly evokes memories of iconic films like Speed and Die Hard, with clever nods that will surely amuse the adult crowd!

Top-Notch Animation and Cast!

Amidst major American companies like Disney and Dreamworks, carving out a niche in animation can be tough. Yet, Falcon Express holds its own with impressive technical prowess, courtesy of the experts at TAT Productions.

Also responsible for the recent and celebrated Netflix series “Asterix & Obelix: Battle of the Chefs” by Alain Chabat, the studio has managed to animate a lively assortment of various animals. The animation is smooth, vibrant, and engaging, quickly endearing viewers to these adorable creatures, whether covered in fur, scales, or feathers.

On the voice front, the production boasts a stellar cast of top French-speaking actors. Dubbing fans can recognize Damien Ferrette (a regular voice for Leonardo DiCaprio) as Falcon, Hervé Jolly (voice of Clint Eastwood) as a police dog, and Emmanuel Curtil (voice of Jim Carrey) voicing a rugby-loving duck from Toulouse.

Falcon Express is now playing in theaters and is suitable for audiences aged 6 and up.
