Chances are that when you think of animated films, the place of origin probably isn’t South Korea. Allow me to change that with the 2014 film Satellite Girl and Milk Cow. GKIDS recently nabbed the rights to it for a US release and a run in the theaters this summer (aren’t they just great about that stuff?), but if you’re wanting to watch it right now, you can do so on the streaming service VRV. You can read the full synopsis of the film below.

“An out of commission satellite picks up a lovelorn ballad on her radio antenna and descends to Earth to find the source of such sincere emotions. But on the way she is caught in the crossfire of a raging magical battle and is transformed into Satellite Girl, complete with Astro Boy-like rocket shoes and weapon-firing limbs. Meanwhile, the balladeer in question – a loser 20 something at a café open mic – meets the fate that befalls all broken-hearted lovers: he is turned into a farm animal. But love knows no bounds, and aided by the wise and powerful Merlin – a wizard who has been turned into a roll of toilet paper – our duo must evade the all-consuming incinerator monster, the wily pig witch, and other nefarious adversaries in an attempt to be together. From the brilliant and slightly twisted mind of writer/director Chang Hyung-yun, Satellite Girl and Milk Cow is a heartfelt and wildly entertaining commentary on the possibility for human connection in the crazy, mixed-up, post-modern world we live in.”

I know what I’m doing after I get off of work. Are you excited about watching this? Are you going to try and see it in theaters, or do you think VRV will be adequate? Regardless of what is chosen, GKIDS has become a large part of this industry, and I couldn’t be happier about what they’ve been doing with animated films.
