The new animated adventure feature film “Buffalo Kids”, is directed by Pedro Solis & Juan Jesús García Galoch (“Galo”), the same directing team from the recent, successful international animated Spanish production “Mummies”. “Buffalo Kids” boasts a wonderfully talented voice cast, including Alisha Weir (“Matilda: The Musical”, “Abigail”), Conor Macneill (“The tourist”, “Industry”), Gemma Arterton (“Culprits”, “The Critic”, “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time”), Stephen Graham (“Bodies”, “Peaky Blinders” “Snatch”) and Sean Bean (“Game of Thrones”, “The Martian”, “The Lord of the Rings”).
Mary (Weir) and Tom (Macneill) are parentless Irish siblings who arrive in New York City via ocean liner in 1886 and quickly find themselves on a wild, cross-country journey aboard a transcontinental “Orphan Train” where they meet an extraordinary new friend who will change their lives forever. Fueled by curiosity, friendship, and teamwork, their dangerous and discovery-filled journey will introduce them to devious villains, surprising allies, unexpected heroes, and unimaginable adventures on a hilarious and heart-warming search for home.
The script is co-written by Jordi Gasull and Javier Barreira, Goya Award winners for Best Screenplay for “Tad, The Lost Explorer”.
Gasull, winner of three Goya Awards for Best Animated Film for “Tad: The Lost Explorer”, “Capture the Flag” and “Tad, The Lost Explorer, and The Secret of King Midas”, is also the film’s producer. In addition to being head of Core Animation Studio, Pedro Solis, is director of the Goya Award winning animated short film “Strings”, which served as the inspiration for “Buffalo Kids”.
The film’s music is composed by Goya Award winner Fernando Velazquez, who has frequently collaborated with acclaimed Spanish director, J.A. Bayona.
