Sofía Vergara and Marc Anthony announced the US theatrical release of the animated comedy film Koatí on October 22. As executive producers, Vergara and Anthony united a diverse cast of 25+ stars to give their voices to an animated adventure movie that celebrates the Latin American rainforests and their exotic animals for the first time.
Maya Cinemas and Spanglish Movies will distribute the film theatrically throughout key US Hispanic markets starting October 22, in both English and Spanish. The film will continue to roll out nationally in November. Myosin is bridging meaningful investment as a partner as well as facilitating the strategic media buy.
Koatí is the story of three unlikely heroes: Nachi, a free-spirited coati; Xochi, a fearless monarch butterfly; and Pako, an energetic glass frog who embarks on an exciting adventure to prevent a wicked coral snake named Zaina (Vergara) from destroying their home, Xo.
Sofia Vergara as a villain is joined by top Latin stars including Eva Luna Montaner, Sebas, Karol G, Adriana Barraza, Eduardo Franco, Daniel Sosa, and De la Ghetto amongst others. Marc Anthony, Koatí executive producer, and executive musical producer joined forces with Sony Music Latin and Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Julio Reyes Copello, to create the score and ten original songs. The Koati soundtrack includes performances by Marc Anthony, Becky G, Mau & Ricky, Tini, Carlos Rivera, Cami, Joy, Gusttavo Lima, Leslie Grace, Evaluna Montaner, and Ir Sais.
