Summaries

Plot Summary

Buffalo Kids is a 2024/2026 animated family adventure directed by Juan Jesús García Galocha and Pedro Solís García, with a screenplay by Jordi Gasull and Javier Barreira. Produced by 4Cats Pictures, Atresmedia Cine, Anangu Grup, Little Big Boy AIE, and Mogambo Productions, the film blends wholesome Western adventure with heart and humour, bringing a classic journey-of-growth story to animated life. Set in 1886 America, the story follows Irish brother and sister Tom and Mary, orphaned and bound for New York to reunite with their Uncle Niall. When he fails to meet them at the docks, the children sneak aboard a transcontinental orphan train and begin a perilous journey across the West. Along the way, they befriend a non-verbal paraplegic boy named Nick and a compassionate overseer, forging bonds that help them face wild coyotes, bandits, and the vast frontier. The adventure showcases friendship, resilience, and courage in the face of hardship. The all-star English voice cast includes Alisha Weir as Mary, Conor MacNeill as Tom, Gemma Arterton as Eleanor, Sean Bean as Outlaw Wilson, and Stephen Graham as Uncle Niall, among others. Buffalo Kids premiered at major festivals including Annecy and Giffoni, and after a strong international run in 2024, it is scheduled for its U.S. theatrical release on February 6, 2026, via Viva Pictures. Designed for a broad family audience, Buffalo Kids combines spirited adventure, emotional storytelling, and inspiring themes about courage, friendship, and finding home in the most unexpected places.
