The pitch
Punch's Journey (2026)
Inspired by the viral true story of Panchi-kun, an infant macaque rejected by his mother at Ichikawa City Zoo, Japan. In this fictionalized short, Punch finds fleeting comfort with Uma, an abandoned Persian kitten, endures cruel rejection from Garo, a bullying troop member, and discovers protective love from the gentle guardian Go-chan.
Opening against Supergirl, this one will be fighting for the same weekend conversation.
Punch's Journey opens in theaters on June 29, 2026.
