GKIDS announced that it and Shout! Factory would be releasing the hit anime film Pompo The Cinephile digitally on June 28, 2022, and in a Blu-ray Disc/DVD combo on July 12, 2022.

The film, which was released in 2021 in Japan and just recently began a brief run in American theaters, is now ready to debut physically for fans who may have missed out on the film but still want to watch it. To celebrate the news, GKIDS also released a new trailer showcasing the English dub of the film.

Check out the new Pompo The Cinephile English dub trailer below:

“Pompo is a talented and gutsy producer in ‘Nyallywood,’ the movie-making capital of the world,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “Although she’s known for B-movies, one day Pompo tells her movie-loving but apprehensive assistant Gene that he will direct her next script: a delicate drama about an aging and tormented creative genius, starring the legendary and Brando-esque actor Martin Braddock, and a young actress seeking her first break. But when the production heads towards chaos, can Gene rise to Pompo’s challenge, and succeed as a first-time director?”
