I've said many times before that one of the great joys I get as being one of the web's premiere promoters of All Things Genre is that -- from time-to-time -- I have folks reach out to me asking that I share some of their promotional materials with my growing readership. Granted, not everything that comes along in emails is precisely what I'm looking for on the MainPage; but when I do receive something of interest I'm always willing to pass it along.
This morning, I received a notice regarding a forthcoming theatrical release from the folks at Cineverse. Their animated Fantasy -- Warrior King -- is scheduled to hit screens on August 25th. While I don't see a great deal of information available regarding the release on the Information Superhighway, the trailer is available ... so I'll be doing the usual by copying and posting the details as provided. Interested folks should give it a watch and maybe even mark your calendars if this one looks to be what you might be anticipating for yourself and maybe the kiddies. It definitely has a family-focused vibe to it.
As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
