On the Edge (Studio 100)
Unveiling his personal touch and enthusiasm for this film, Rodriguez remarks:
This movie aims to transcend animation boundaries engaging viewers into a delightful connection with these endangered, whimsical outcasts. It’s a cheer for the underdog, symbolizing resilience, survival, and identifying our true place. As an Afro-Latino in this field, the underdog spirit is inherent to me and this film epitomizes that journey. And to add an exciting twist, the plot hangs on an electrifying heist/kidnapping triggering Donnie’s mission, embarking him on a path of unforeseen growth and self-realization.
The film introduces Donnie, an endearing yet skeptical Cuban solenodon on an implausible mission to dodge extinction by masquerading as a panda- one of the true darlings among endangered species. His adventurous voyage alongside a peculiar ensemble of neglected animals, unfolds into a gripping, heist-fuelled storyline revolving around identity, belonging, and survival.
With a perfect blend of sharp humor, poignant emotions, and high-octane action, On the Edge presents an enjoyable and family-friendly viewing experience while subtly inciting interest about biodiversity and conservation. It debunks the myth that only the “cute and cuddly” are worth preserving, celebrating nature’s strange yet enchanting misfits emphasizes the significance of every species.
Studio 100 Film, the worldwide sales manager, is set to unveil the first glance at this innovative approach at the Marché du Film in their office suite: 6B2 in Résidence Le Gray d’Albion, 32 bis Rue des Serbes, Cannes. With a potential release by Q4 2026, On the Edge is designed to captivate children and families across the globe.
