Maison 4:3 and 10th Ave Productions are proud to announce that Félix et le trésor de Morgäa (Felix and the Treasure of Morgäa), directed by Nicola Lemay and written by Marc Robitaille, will be released in all of Quebec’s operating cinemas starting February 26. Maison 4:3 is eager to celebrate Quebec’s film industry and the upcoming re-opening of cinemas by offering the public a 100% Quebec-made animated film for March Break. Produced by Nancy Florence Savard (10th Ave Productions), Félix et le trésor de Morgäa has been adapted by Édith Bourget into a book inspired by the film’s screenplay.

“We’re happy to be offering families some 100% Quebec-made entertainment for March Break, and to be joining with cinemas in this widely-anticipated re-opening. We’ll see you at the movies on February 26,” declares Chantale Pagé, president of Maison 4:3.

“We wanted to be there for the re-opening of cinemas, so that we could offer Quebec families a joyful and entertaining experience through this emotion-filled adventure story that carries the scent of sea breezes,” comments delighted producer Nancy Florence Savard. “I’m so happy that the film is finally making its way to Quebec’s big screens. I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing Montreal audiences share in this joyful experience for the whole family,” adds director Nicola Lemay.

FÉLIX ET LE TRÉSOR DE MORGÄA features the talents of Gabriel Lessard (Felix), Karine Vanasse (Morgäa/Madeleine) who also voices the same character in the English version, Guy Nadon (Tom) and Marc Labrèche (Klaus). Other members of the impressive cast are Antoine Durand (Jack), Tristan Harvey (Paul Potvin), Éveline Gélinas (Annie), Catherine Proulx-Lemay (Mylène), Frédéric Desager (Bobo) and Louis Lacombe-Petrowski (Max).

SYNOPSIS

Twelve-year-old Felix is convinced that his father, who disappeared at sea two years ago, is still alive. So Felix sets out to find his dad, accompanied by Old Tom, a retired sailor; Squawk, a one-legged parrot; and Rover, a cat who acts like a dog. Their quest takes them to Darkshadow Island, where, in an underground city, a secret society is ruled over by the megalomaniacal Morgäa, possessor of a unique treasure.

OPENING THE FIFEM

FÉLIX ET LE TRÉSOR DE MORGÄA will also be opening the FIFEM (Montreal International Children’s Film Festival) with a special presentation: an invitation-only virtual preview screening on Sunday, February 21. Twenty-five families will have a chance to attend this screening by participating in a contest that will be launched on the FIFEM Facebook Page in the next few days.

About Nicola Lemay

He’s worked on a multitude of projects and won several prestigious awards. For more than eight years now, he’s been collaborating with the 10th Ave team. Félix et le trésor de Morgäa is based on an original idea by Nicola Lemay. This is the first animated feature film on which he’s worked as a director, and producer Nancy Florence Savard is proud to be at his side in this new phase of his career. “It won’t be his last,” the delighted producer is quick to add. The screenplay is written by Marc Robitaille, for whom it’s also his first experience in animated film – and it won’t be his last collaboration with this new duo.
