Buddy just wants to see you smile. And to be sure he can achieve it, he returns with a new teaser trailer…terribly adorable. The orange unicorn with the irresistible gaze is ready to give you another taste of his fantastic world, where everyone is friends, there is a song for every occasion and no one should ever stop being happy. Especially without his permission.
From December 2nd it arrives in Italian cinemas, distributed by Be Water Film, in collaboration with PiperFilm, Buddy, the Casper Kelly horror that turns the most innocent of children’s programs into a colorful and out-of-control nightmare.
But Buddy also has a surprise in store for you: the orange unicorn will be dubbed by Luca Ghignone, the longtime voice of Dodò from L’Albero Azzurro, familiar to both adults and children and ready to accompany you into a world of smiles and good feelings. Of course, provided that everyone does only what Buddy wants.
Buddy: the plot of Caspar Kelly’s new horror
Welcome to the fantastic world of Buddy!, where a group of children spends their days singing, dancing and learning together with its beloved protagonist. Here there’s always a song to sing, a lesson to learn. Everyone is friends. And no one should ever stop smiling. When a child decides not to follow the rules, however, Buddy’s perfect world begins to show cracks. The songs become unsettling, the atmosphere grows increasingly sinister, and the cutest orange unicorn on TV begins to reveal a side of itself that no one would have wanted to know. Because Buddy wants only one thing: that everyone be happy. Whether they want it or not.
Among puppets, obsessive melodies, bright colors, and a happiness bordering on madness, Casper Kelly takes the reassuring imagery of children’s television and turns it into a delirious universe, where nostalgia blends with horror, and even a hug can become a threat. Presented at the Sundance Film Festival and at SXSW, Buddy marks the feature debut of Casper Kelly – the author of the viral phenomenon Too Many Cooks – who co-writes the screenplay of the film with Jamie King. In the cast Cristin Milioti, Delaney Quinn, Topher Grace and Michael Shannon, with Keegan-Michael Key, the original voice of Buddy, and Patton Oswalt.
