Studio Trigger’s first full-length animated theatrical feature Promare (pronounced PRO-MAYR) was unleashed onto the unsuspecting UK public today with a widespread cinematic release. In real terms, this means that one of my local cinemas showed this movie once, this evening, and probably never again. I am glad I was able to see it.
