Tangles, an Animated Alzheimer's Memoir, Nears Release After a Decade
Summary
Abbi Jacobson leads a voice cast including Seth Rogen and Bryan Cranston in Leah Nelson's black-and-white adaptation for IFC.
"Tangles, a black-and-white 2-D animated feature adapted from Sarah Levitt's graphic memoir about her family's experience with early-onset Alzheimer's, screened in New York on Monday night ahead of a qualifying run later this month, Deadline reported. IFC acquired the film earlier this year with Sapan Studios and plans a wider release in early 2027.
Leah Nelson directed, produced and co-wrote the film with Levitt. Abbi Jacobson voices Sarah, with Seth Rogen, Bryan Cranston, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Beanie Feldstein and Samira Wiley in the cast. Producers include Louis-Dreyfus, Rogen's Point Grey, Monarch Media, Giant Ant and LYLAS Pictures.
Work on the adaptation began in 2016, Lauren Miller Rogen said at the screening, which was presented by Hilarity for Charity. Louis-Dreyfus said the film used the art form in ""whatever-the-opposite-of-derivative-is way,"" and Jacobson called the cast's shared recording sessions a ""rarity."""
