A fresh batch of films arrives in theaters, offering something for everyone — from animated stories that blend humor and action, to intimate dramas, Eastern fantasy, a gothic Tim Burton classic, and a bold new entry from Argentine auteur cinema.

1. Zoopocalypse

Animals on a rescue mission.

When a meteor crashes into the Colepepper Zoo and spreads a virus that turns animals into zombies, a wolf named Gracie convinces Dan, a puma, to become her bodyguard and help her find her pack. Together, they embark on a journey full of adventure, action, and friendship to save the infected creatures.

Fun fact: Co-directed by veteran animators Ricardo Curtis (The Incredibles, Monsters Inc.) and Rodrigo Pérez-Castro (The Book of Life, Ferdinand).

2. An Incomplete Love

A Japanese-style drama.

Jay (Romain Duris), a French taxi driver living in Tokyo, has spent years trying to reconnect with his daughter Lily, whom he hasn’t seen since separating from her mother nearly a decade ago. Just as he’s about to return to France, a chance encounter changes the course of his search — and his life.

Fun fact: The film was part of the official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival, received four nominations at the 2025 Magritte Awards (including Best Film), and competed for the Golden Giraldillo at the Seville Film Festival.

3. The Legend Seeker

Jackie Chan between dreams and archaeology.

Professor Fang (Jackie Chan), an archaeology expert, discovers that the texture of artifacts found in a glacier is identical to that of a pendant that appears in his dreams. Intrigued, he and his team set out on a journey to the Glacier Temple, where reality and dreams intertwine in a tale of action, humor, and mysticism — in true Jackie Chan style.

Fun fact: A high-budget production shot between China and Mongolia, combining cutting-edge visual effects with classic martial arts.

4. Corpse Bride

Tim Burton’s classic returns to the big screen.

Tim Burton’s unforgettable animated film makes its comeback to theaters. With its blend of dark humor, romance, and gothic aesthetics, Corpse Bride invites audiences to relive a story as haunting as it is charming — where love transcends even the boundary between life and death.

Fun fact: This rerelease includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the stop-motion process used to bring the film to life — a treat for fans of the director and handcrafted animation.

5. The Virgin of La Tosquera

Argentine cinema with power and enchantment.

During a scorching summer after Argentina’s 2001 crisis, three teenage friends live on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. When all three fall for the same boy, rivalry, heartbreak, and jealousy awaken a dark energy. With help from her grandmother, one of them casts a spell that changes everything — unleashing a mysterious and dangerous inner force.

Fun fact: Directed by Laura Casabé, the film is based on short stories by Mariana Enriquez and was the only Latin American title in the main competition at Sundance 2025.
