Teaser for Science Saru's 'Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia' Animation

"This is the tale of a witch..." Science Saru in Japan has unveiled the first look teaser for an animated film titled Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia being directed by animation filmmaker Abel Gongora (of Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye and "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off"). One of the next animation projects from the iconic studio Science Saru (Inu-Oh, The Colors Within, Ride Your Wave). This is the story of one witch who toyed with a vast continent. The film is set for a TV debut in Japan in July 2026 - no theaters for this. Set in the 13th century during the reign of Emperor Genghis Khan and his march through the Mongolian Empire - one girl messes with his plans in Iran after becoming educated by scholars. This is the story of Jaadugar, the "witch in Mongolia". When he arrives "her quiet days come to an end, and the wheels of fate begin to turn." The final voice cast has not been announced yet. This animation style reminds me of the very lovely Little Amelie animated film also out this year. Stay tuned for any updates on Jaadugar leading up to its release next year. // Continue Reading ›
