From the Oscar nominated creators of THE SECRET OF KELLS and SONG OF THE SEA, this gorgeous third feature from Ireland's Cartoon Saloon is based on the novel of the same name, about a young Afghani girl who disguises herself as a boy to try to rescue her father from the Taliban, while drawing strength from the fantastical stories she invents for her baby brother. "More imaginative than COCO, more soulful than MOANA, more everything than DESPICABLE ME 3, The Breadwinner cements Cartoon Saloon as an animation powerhouse worth mentioning alongside the likes of Pixar, Laika, and the great Studio Ghibli." - Indiewire
"A work of striking beauty and affecting emotional heft." - Los Angeles Times
"Demonstrates that the way imagination refracts reality can provide not only solace but also real-world strategy." - N.Y. Times
