Animotion Media Group in partnership with the distribution company Luminescence is thrilled to announce the international theatrical release of the highly anticipated animated film Finnick 2.
Building on the original Finnick‘s success, which captured the hearts of many families in over 50 countries and topped the box office in more than 10, Finnick 2 is set to premiere this fall in October 2025. The film promises a heartwarming and visually stunning adventure of lovable and mischievous Finnick and his friend Christine. What started as an unwelcome connection gradually became a genuine friendship, with Christine seeing beyond Finnick’s mischief to the good-hearted soul underneath. Together, they face a growing threat that looms over the entire finn community, testing the strength of their newfound bond.
The sequel dives deeper into themes of family, friendship, and self-discovery, with the blossoming bond between Finnick and Christine at the heart of the story. Finnick 2 not only offers a more compelling and engaging narrative but also sets a new benchmark in animation quality.
