Meet the Marsupilami! Pathe in France has unveiled the fun first official trailer for a wacky new creature feature comedy called Marsupilami, from actor / director Philippe Lacheau. It’s set for release in France starting in February next year but has no US release set yet. Philippe Lacheau stars in and directs this film about a peculiar little creature known as “marsupilami”. Based on the comic books of the same name! The cute little yellow creature with black spots and a very, very long tail was created by André Franquin. Its first appearance was in the 31 January 1952 issue of the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Spirou. In this movie, a man is tasked to deliver a mysterious package from South America, only to find out he is bringing back a baby Marsupilami – sending their trip into complete chaos. Marsupilami stars Philippe Lacheau, Jamel Debbouze, Tarek Boudali, Elodie Fontan, Julien Arruti, Alban Ivanov, Reem Kherici, Corentin Guillot, and Jean Reno. Even without subtitles for the French it’s still watchable. Or just enjoy the trailer anyway & have fun hanging out this goofy yellow animal who loves to cause all kinds of trouble. View below.
