Bong joon-ho unveils first glimpse of animated feature 'ally'

Acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho, fresh from his Oscar-winning success with Parasite, has surprised fans with a first look at his upcoming animated film, Ally. The project, which has been in development since 2019, marks Bong's foray into the world of animation.

Ally dives into the depths

According to the film's producers, CJ ENM, Ally delves into the mysteries of marine life from the depths of the ocean. The story centers around a dumbo octopus named Ally, whose life is disrupted when a plane crashes into the sea. This catastrophic event propels Ally on a journey to the surface, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure.

Bong, known for his unique storytelling style, has teamed up with co-writer Jason Yu (Sleep) to bring this underwater tale to life. With the success of recent Korean animations like Solo Leveling and the Oscar-winning Studio Ghibli film, Spirit Away, the timing for Ally's release couldn't be better.
