Hugo the Movie Star

1996 · 72 min

A breezy, tuneful cartoon romp that keeps things silly and sweet while gently tugging at questions of belonging.

Overview: Hugo, the one-of-a-kind jungle animal, is snatched away from his home for a second time in another attempt for him to become an animal actor. Meanwhile, he's reunited with Rita the kind, streetwise fox. Finding that life in front of and behind the camera isn't so bad, he grows more unaccustomed to wild life once he escapes and slowly weakens his relationship with Rita.
