Using a flying rainbow-suit, 10-year-old Arco travels back in time to the year 2075, where he experiences an Earth very different from the one he lives on in the far future.

Blending fantasy, science fiction, and beautiful hand-drawn animation — in a mode inspired by the work of Studio Ghibli — this French film (with English dubbing) follows a young boy from the future, where people live on platforms in the clouds above a flooded Earth. Using a flying rainbow-suit to travel back to the year 2075, 10-year-old Arco returns to a time when people still lived upon the ground among forests and robots. With voicework from Natalie Portman, Will Ferrell, Mark Ruffalo, Andy Sandberg, America Ferrera, and Flea, ARCO is an imaginative children’s adventure story that centers around an ecological warning and a hopeful vision for the future.
