As of today, you can catch the anime film The Deer King on the big screen in America. It’s the product of Masashi Ando, whose past credits include work on Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Your Name and others. The Deer King marks his first film in a directorial position, and it’s being distributed in the States by GKIDS.
Van is a former soldier who’s been captured by the enemy and forced to work in a mine. Fortunately for him (depending on how you look at it), a disastrous plague has struck the area, and Van is one of the only survivors along with a young girl. This gives them the opportunity to escape, but their problems won’t be over until they can figure out where the plague came from, and who happens to be pursuing them ever since they left the mine.
All current showings that display in my regional area are the sub version, but I don’t know if that’s different anywhere else. The English dub of The Deer King stars Ray Chase as Van, Griffin Puatu as Hohsalle, Erica Schroeder as Sae, Luciana VanDette as Yuna, Doug Stone as Tohlim, Neil Kaplan as Aquafa King and Frank Todaro as Kenoi, plus lots of others.
The Deer King is now out across the country. GKIDS is currently handling the distribution of other anime including Pompo the Cinephile (recently released on Blu-Ray) and Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko (coming to Blu on the 19th).
