Entertainment One has confirmed that second instalment of Irish co-production Two by Two: Overboard! will be released only in cinemas from December 4th.
The Irish led co-production features a voice cast that includes Tara Flynn and Alan Stanford and is directed by Toby Genkel & Sean McCormack with a script written by Richie Conroy and Mark Hodkinson. The song over the closing credits, ‘Stand for Hope’, is written by Eimear Noone and performed by Sibéal.
The film is co-produced by Galway-based Irish animation company Moetion Films, which is headed by producer Moe Honan.
The film returns to Noah’s ark as it drifts on the open seas with best friends Finny and Leah on board. But, after weeks with no land in sight, food stocks are running low. The fragile peace between carnivores and herbivores could break any second. After a series of unfortunate events, the kids find themselves inadvertently washed overboard – along with the last of the food supplies.
Leah and fellow castaway, their new friend Jelly, are marooned on a remote island. While Finny wakes in a strange colony filled with oddly familiar creatures living in harmony – under the threat of a menacing volcano. In a race against time, tide, and terrifying tremors, Finny must rescue his friends; reunite with his family and save a whole colony from total destruction.
