April and the Extraordinary World

In a mid-20th-century France where Napoleon’s line never lost power--and scientists were routinely kidnapped and silenced, locking technology in a pre-Industrial Revolution state--young April (voiced by Angela Gallupo) goes on a quest for the truth behind her own researcher parents’ disappearance, and to keep their world-changing discovery out of the wrong hands. Enjoyable take on Jaques Tardi’s steampunk graphic novel also features the voices of Paul Giamatti, Susan Sarandon, J.K. Simmons. 107 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), French; featurette; theatrical trailer.
