Canadian cinema chains Cineplex and Landmark Cinemas will screen Angel’s Egg starting Wednesday, November 19th, 2025
Angel’s Egg, a collaboration between acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) and celebrated artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D), was originally released direct-to-video in 1985.
GKIDS posted a synopsis of Angel’s Egg to its website:
In an underwater city, a young girl takes care of a large egg she holds carefully in her arms – a treasure that she believes is an angel’s egg. A boy with a gun arrives in search of a bird he saw in his dream. At first it seems as if feelings of sympathy are developing between the two. Then, one night, the boy crushes her precious egg.
Angel’s Egg was animated by Studio DEEN, directed by Mamoru Oshii, produced by Hiroshi Hasegawa, Masao Kobayashi, Mitsunori Miura, Toshio Suzuki, and Yutaka Wada, written by Mamoru Oshii, and with music composition by Yoshihiro Kanno.
It stars Mako Hyodo as the voice of the unnamed girl, and Jinpachi Nezu as the unnamed boy, with Keiichi Noda as the narrator. Appearing in the English dub are Brianna Knickerbocker as the voice of the unnamed girl, with Justice Slocum as the unnamed boy.
