Cat Animation ‘Scotty’ Acquired by Skyline Media, Bows at Busan Market
Vietnam’s Skyline Media will showcase its latest acquisition, the animated feature “Scotty,” at the Asian Contents & Film Market in Busan.
The family-friendly animation centers on the partnership between Scotty, a homeless feline, and Katie, a domesticated cat, as they navigate obstacles while searching for home. The project required six years of development and involved over 300 artists in its creation.
Voice talent includes Penelope Rawlins, known for “Peppa Pig Tales,” alongside William Hope (“Aliens”), Stuart Milligan (“Wonder Woman 1984”), Dario Coates (“You”) and Jessica Preddy (“Greta”).
“Scotty” joins a broader collection of titles Skyline will present at ACFM, ranging from horror and thriller to cybercrime and black comedy projects.
Skyline has positioned itself as a key player in Southeast Asian content distribution, handling more than 800 global titles for Vietnamese release while representing over 150 regional productions for international sales across 50-plus territories.
The company’s recent slate includes Huynh Lap’s “The Ancestral Home,” Vietnam’s highest-grossing spiritual film of all time; Khuong Ngoc’s “The Real Sister,” one of Vietnam’s biggest family dramas of 2024; “The Fatal Dealz,” Vietnam’s first thriller focused on high tech and AI-driven fraud; “Gemini,” Vietnam’s first horror film centered on twins in the womb; “The Silent Game,” a thriller exploring body shaming and social media dangers; “The Bride,” a Thailand-Vietnam co-production about a haunted wedding dress; “Beheading,” a Cambodian horror feature about an ancestral spirit threatening generations of a family; and “Hoang Thuy Linh: Vietnamese Concert Film,” documenting the career-defining performance of the pop sensation known globally for her viral hit “See Tình.”
The market runs Sept. 20-23 at Busan’s Bexco facility.
