Montréal, Wednesday, November 26, 2025 – Maison 4:3 and 10th Ave Productions are pleased to unveil the official poster and trailer for the animated feature film Lydia and the Mist Rider. Sophie Nélisse stars as the apprentice astromagician Lydia, alongside Mizinga Mwinga, Hasani Freeman and Sarah Booth. This fantasy film, the sixth production from 10th Ave, will be appearing on Canadian screens as of February 20, 2026.
Lydia and the Mist Rider (French title: Lydia et le vaisseau des tempêtes) transports us to a completely fantastic world. When her older brother Thaddeus is mysteriously abducted by the Spellbinder, 11-year-old Lydia sets out to find him in the Misty Sea. Picked up by the crew of an airborne sailing ship called the Dolphin, Lydia is apprenticed to Ambrosia, an astromagician. Ambrosia is searching for other children who have disappeared, including her own son. Determined to solve the mystery, Lydia will need to learn astromagic, and she’ll need to learn to trust herself. With heart and spirit, she will have to confront the Spellbinder.
After more than two years of work, under the direction of screenwriter and co-director Emilie Rosas, art director and co-director Philippe Arseneau Bussières, and producer and co-director Nancy Florence Savard of 10th Ave, the film has finally reached its final version. The screenplay by Emilie Rosas is freely adapted from two novels by Yves Meynard: Le vaisseau des tempêtes (The Storm Vessel) and Le prince des glaces (The Ice Prince), published by Éditions Médiaspaul.
The production of this sixth animated feature film by 10th Ave was made possible thanks to the support of Telefilm Canada, SODEC, The Canada Media Fund, the City of Québec, the Shaw Rocket Fund, Bell Media/Crave, the Radio-Canada Corporation, the Harold Greenberg Fund and Investment Québec, as well as the Quebec and Canadian tax credit programs. The film is distributed by Maison 4:3 in Canada. Attraction Distribution, in conjunction with 10th Ave Studio, are the international sales agents.
