Title

Wendell & Wild

Description

After Kat survives an accident that left her orphaned, the trauma causes her to have a new perspective on life and she becomes a juvenile delinquent. When she is sent to a Catholic school in her old hometown, her psychic powers become even stronger. Eventually, a pair of demon brothers contacts her, offering a deal to reunite her with her deceased parents. The only issue is that one should never trust demons, and mishaps occur along the way.

One of Kat's new classmates include Raúl Cocolotl voiced by Sam Zelaya. This character is the first trans man in a mainstream animated children’s film.
