Miss Moxy Opens In Theaters In The UK

Dazzler Media is introducing the animated movie Miss Moxy, which opened in theaters across England and Ireland last weekend.

For centuries, people have been fascinated by stories of pets who get left behind when their owners move…and somehow, against all odds, track them down across hundreds of miles to find them again. This was most famously depicted in the movie The Incredible Journey, but it’s an actual thing that happens and there are several documented cases. How do they do it? No one knows.

Miss Moxy is inspired by the real story of the British tabby cat Boo, who was separated from her family for 13 years yet managed to eventually show up on their doorstep. Fortunately Miss Moxy isn’t gone from home for THAT long, but in this version there are kidnappers in the mix. Moxy belongs to a wealthy family and had her every need catered to until she now finds herself having to survive on her own. Fortunately, she makes two fast friends, a clumsy dog and a wise old swallow, who teach her about the real world and help her get back to her family.

The press release makes no mention of who’s starring in Miss Moxy nor who the writer or director is. All we can do is show you the trailer below and point out it’s now in UK cinemas. Any plans for a US release are unknown at this time.

Miss Moxy is a delightful animated family adventure, following a pampered city cat who embarks on an unexpected and epic journey across Europe. After being kidnapped during a holiday in France, Miss Moxy escapes and teams up with an unlikely duo – a clumsy dog and a wise old swallow – to find her way back home. Along the way, she learns valuable lessons about friendship, acceptance, and discovering her true self.
