“You came despite everything.” Of course, she misses that big kitty! Studiocanal has revealed the official trailer for Autumn and the Black Jaguar, the latest animal friendship adventure movie from the same French filmmakers behind Mia and the White Lion and The Wolf and the Lion previously. So pretty much the same thing all over again – another girl and a wild cat. The film also goes under the title Ella and the Black Jaguar, or Le dernier Jaguar, because it’s a French production and the her original name in that version Ella. However, the film is in English anyway. A new adventure in the heart of the Amazon, the story follows a girl who befriends a black Jaguar in the Amazon, and returns years later to find the Jaguar and save her from those who seek to destroy the rainforest and all of its wildlife. Lumi Pollack stars as Ella / Autumn, with Wane Baker, Paul Greene, Emily Bett Rickards, and Kelly Hope Taylor. This looks exceptionally cheesy and saccharine, with as many cute shots of the baby jaguar that they can pack in here.
Here’s the first official trailer for Gilles de Maistre’s Autumn and the Black Jaguar, from YouTube:
Growing up in the Amazon rainforest gave Autumn the rarest of friendships – a lost jaguar cub she names Hope. When a tragic event forces Autumn to leave Hope for the unknowns of New York City, she dreams for years of going back to the rainforest and her friend. Aged 14, and having grown accustomed to city life, Autumn discovers her childhood village is under threat from animal traffickers and decides she must return to the Amazon to her beloved jaguar. Anja, her endearingly clumsy biology teacher, unsuccessfully tries to dissuade her from this reckless plan. Joined by Anja, Autumn embarks on a journey to reunite with Hope and save her from those who seek to destroy the rainforest and its wildlife. Autumn and the Black Jaguar, also known as Le dernier Jaguar in French originally, is directed by French filmmaker Gilles de Maistre, director of the films Killer Kid, Ferocious, Mia and the White Lion, and The Wolf and the Lion previously, as well as lots of other TV documentaries. The screenplay is written by Prune de Maistre, based on an original idea by Gilles de Maistre and Prune de Maistre. Studiocanal will debut Autumn and the Black Jaguar in German & French cinemas this February, later in 2024 in the rest of the world. Want to watch?
