MediaOCD has announced the Blu-ray 
home media release of Icarus, a gorgeous independent animated fantasy-drama that spins the classic story from Greek mythology and marks the directorial debut of former Pixar animator Carlo Vogele.
On the island of Crete, every corner is a playground for Icarus, the son of the great inventor Daedalus. During an exploration near the palace of Knossos, the little boy makes a strange discovery: a child with the head of a bull is locked up there by order of King Minos. In secret from his father, Icarus will befriend the young minotaur named Asterion. But fate changes when the latter is taken into a labyrinth. Can Icarus save his friend and change the course of a story written by the gods? Icarus was originally release in 2022 and was Luxembourg’s submission for the 2023 Academy Awards.
Carlo Vogele is a director, screenwriter, and a character animator. Born in Luxembourg, he graduated from the Gobelins School, a leading Paris-based school renowned internationally for animation. He went on to work for Pixar on features such as Toys, Cars, and Monsters, Inc., in addition to creating his own critically acclaimed short films, For Sock’s Sake, Furtiva Lagrima, and Wurst. Icarus is his first full-length feature. More information on Carlo Vogele is available at: https://www.carlovogele.net.
