After two years of keeping the information secret, 10th<\/sup> Ave Productions and Maison 4:3 are happy to be sharing, at last, the names of the cast members on Katak the Brave Beluga<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, the fifth animated feature produced by the Quebec City production company. They are also unveiling the official trailer, as well as the poster for the film, which is set for release during Spring Break 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its original version in French, Katak the Brave Beluga<\/em><\/strong> has enabled numerous performers to realize their dream of breathing life into an animated character from the very outset of production, when only a few character illustrations were in existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI travelled to Quebec City from Montreal. I was so eager, I was so happy to be participating in a Quebec-made animation project,\u201d recalls Ludivine Reding. \u201cIt was my first time showing up in a studio with no image having been shot yet,\u201d notes Alexandre Bacon. \u201cI\u2019ve voiced characters like Andy in Toy Story 3<\/em><\/strong>, but this was something really special for me, because I had incredible freedom,\u201d adds Alexandre Bacon, who lends his voice to Katak, the young grey Beluga whale who is the central character of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe creative freedom at the beginning of the process was unlimited,\u201d observes \u00c9milie Josset, an experienced dubbing performer who has lent her voice to dubbed French versions of Moana<\/em><\/strong>, Beauty and the Beast<\/em><\/strong>, and Cars<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cIt offered a freedom of performance that we don\u2019t normally have,\u201d spontaneously points out Yves Jacques, who provides the voice of Cyrano the sturgeon. \u201cI feel really lucky making an original French-language version. I really love that,\u201d adds Ludivine Reding, who voices the enthusiastic Lulu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of his first participation in an animated film, Yves Jacques confides: \u201cI\u2019ve always dreamed of this.\u201d Encountered during the final recording session, a month ago, Ginette Reno, who voices Katak\u2019s Grandma, adds: \u201cIt\u2019s very gratifying. I want to go see it with my great-grandson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A terrific cast has brought to life this first 3D animated film set among the plants and animals of Quebec\u2019s maritime environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
