This year, PUI PUI Molcar conquers the big screen in their first CG animated theatrical release. A new teaser trailer gives us a closer look at what’s to come—and like all the best car movies, it’s about family.
Check out the teaser, featuring our first look at the film’s two human stars and Molcars old and new:
As previously mentioned, MOLMAX will mark the first time that the Molcars’ tiny human drivers have spoken lines. Voice actor Akio Ohtsuka and singer/actor Masaki Aiba were both announced as being involved in the film, although no actual roles were announced along with the initial news. Today, we meet their characters.
Aiba will be playing the CEO of Many Many Eyes, a tech company working to perfect AI Molcars:
Akio voices the owner of Wild Heart carrot farm: a Vin Diesel-esque character searching for his lost “family,” a Molcar named Dodge:
We also have character art for Dodge, who (like the other Molcars in the film) will be voiced by an Abyssinian guinea pig named Ito-san.
As previously announced, The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague anime director Mankyu will be directing the film at TOHO NEXT with a script by Yuko Kakihara (Urusei Yatsura 2022) and supervision from original creator Tomoki Misato. The film is set to debut in Japan on November 29.
