Vortex Media and Maison 4:3 are thrilled to announce that Sophie Roy’s Butterfly Tale has grossed over $750k across Canada to date. Starring Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law) and Mena Massoud (Evolving Vegan), this movie is an animated feature film for the whole family set along the diverse, picturesque, and ever-changing backdrop of the great monarch butterfly migration. The film features original songs from Shawn Mendes, Johnny Orlando, and Cœur de Pirate.
The first 3D animated feature to be made in the ScreenX format from the pre-production stage, this work will continue to be available on the big screen, charming families across Canada, and for curiousity seekers, it is online for others to view.
“Butterfly Tale is an inspiring coming-of-age story with an important message about the plight of monarch butterflies,” said Justin Rebelo, CEO of Vortex Media. “Sophie Roy, Producer Marie-Claude Beauchamp and the rest of the filmmaking team have delivered a story that will delight families for years to come.”
“This film will always hold a special place in my heart,” said Beauchamp. “I immediately felt a deep personal connection with the story and am over the moon that Vortex Media and Maison 4:3 worked so hard to bring this animated film to families across Canada.”
