Arco (2025)

1h 28m / PG / Animation, Adventure, Sci-Fi

Arco is a magical, beautifully hand-drawn animated sci-fi adventure from French filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu that blends heart, imagination, and urgent themes about our world’s future. The story follows a curious 10-year-old boy named Arco who lives in a peaceful, tree-city future where time travel is possible. When he defies the rules and accidentally crashes into the year 2075, he meets a resourceful girl named Iris, whose world is shaped by environmental peril, robotic caretakers, and distant, overworked parents. Together, and with the help of her loyal robot guardian Mikki, they embark on a journey to get Arco home and, in the process, discover the power of friendship, courage, and hope for tomorrow.

Critics have praised Arco for its lush 2D animation, emotional depth, and thoughtful storytelling, drawing comparisons to classic works from Studio Ghibli and other animation greats. No wonder, then, that Arco earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature.
