Calamity, A Childhood of Martha Jane Cannary (2018) - Blu-ray Forum

esteban² · 03-01-2017, 01:39 AM

Following up on his unique, and sadly overlooked, 2016 film Long Way North, director Rémi Chayé is developing another mostly-drawn animated feature with a strong female protagonist. The setting this time is switched from the North Pole to the American West of the mid-19th century, and the story is an original take on an actual historical figure, Calamity Jane. French companies Maybe Movies and Sacrebleu Productions are leading the film’s development

1863, in the midst of a convoy heading West on its way to a better life, Martha Jane’s father gets hurt. It is she who must drive the family wagon and take care of the horses. Learning is tough and yet Martha Jane has never felt so free. And since it’s more practical for riding horses, she doesn’t hesitate to slip in trousers. It is too much boldness for Abraham, the leader of the convoy. Accused of theft, Martha has to run away. Dressed as a boy, searching for the evidence of her innocence, she discovers a world in construction where her original personality will assert itself. An adventure full of dangers and rich in encounters that will, step by step, reveal the mythical Calamity Jane.

Wow, why is it taking so long to come out in the U.S., I adored Long Way North and am most hyped for this, what do I have to give away or sacrifice in order to end the wait...

I would like to add that (at the very least) its soundtrack is also available for purschase on Qobuz as a high resolution (48kHz, 24-bit, Stereo) digital download! So you can tune in to its score and the songs with FLAC or WAV, the format of your preference, without having to confront the digital video's lossy audio encoding.

For everyone interested, looks like the Japanese (Region A) Blu-ray includes English subtitles! Still no English dub, but this is far better than nothing.
