Aussie Film: The Sloth Lane
“The Sloth Lane”: A Heartwarming, Must-See Aussie Film for Families
Calling all mums in Western Sydney! Get ready to experience a delightful and delicious new movie that’s perfect for the whole family. “The Sloth Lane,” a charming Aussie-mation film, is set to hit cinemas this Thursday July 25th, promising a heartwarming story that blends humour, adventure, and a touch of culinary magic.
Fast Food, Slow Cooked… Sloth Style: A Delicious Tale of Family and Food
The film follows Laura and her kooky sloth family as they move to the big city with their prized family recipe book and their rusted old food truck called Gordito. To make ends meet, the family starts to make things from the recipe book and sell them from the food truck. Slow cooked… sloth style, of course! The family’s delicious food soon catches the eye of a quick-witted cheetah named Dotti (voiced by Ghostbusters’ Leslie Jones) who will stop at nothing to revive her failing fast food business, Zoom Fuel.
Star-Studded Cast and Creative Talent
Featuring a blend of local and international talent, “The Sloth Lane” includes voices familiar to Australian and global audiences. Leslie Jones, known for her roles in “Ghostbusters” and “Sing,” lends her voice to Dotti Pace, a quick-witted cheetah and fast-food mogul determined to revamp her business. Meanwhile, local talents like Olivia Vásquez and Remy Hii (Spider-Man: Far From Home) bring to life characters that add depth and charm to the story, and Dan Brumm who voices Uncle Stripe in Bluey also features as Chief Furbank.
A Tale of Discovery and the Importance of Family
At its core, “The Sloth Lane” is a coming-of-age story centered around Laura, a spirited young sloth torn between honouring her family’s traditions and forging her own path. Coupled with a lovable cast of supporting characters including a platypus technician (voiced by Spider-Man: Far From Home’s Remy Hii) and a hilarious chief (voiced by Bluey’s Dan Brumm), this movie is surely going to give plenty of laughs and heartfelt moments.
