Where it came from
Penguin Highway was produced by Studio Colorido and released in 2018 as the studio's second feature-length film. Directed by Hiroyasu Ishida, the movie is an adaptation of the award-winning novel by Tomihiko Morimi. The project was conceived as a coming-of-age story that balances the grounded reality of a young boy's daily life with surreal, science-fiction elements, marking a significant step forward for the studio in its ambition to craft uniquely imaginative animated worlds.
The film's visual identity was heavily influenced by Ishida’s desire to depict the world through the perspective of a hyper-intelligent child. The animation style utilizes vibrant colors and distinct character designs to contrast the mundane suburban setting with the inexplicable appearance of penguins. Upon its release, the film was well-regarded for its whimsical narrative and technical execution, earning the Satoshi Kon Award at the Fantasia International Film Festival for its creative storytelling.
