On The Edge stars a motley crew of forgotten, misfit, endangered animals. Led by Donnie, a Cuban Solenodon with a nose for adventure, our group is on the edge of extinction. But Donnie and friends refuse to go quietly, setting out on an epic journey to crash the world tour of Peng – the superstar panda and hero of PANDALAND – to discover how fame and “huggability” kept him alive.

A still from an upcoming animation showing a Cuban Solenodon with a large pink snout, big expressive eyes, reddish-brown fur, on a forest floor covered with leaves, small rocks, and green grass, looking upwards with a curious or surprised expression.

On The Edge was originated by Studio BlueGreen to inspire joy and love for the natural world, including species that are quirky and a little eccentric!

A collaboration between Studio BlueGreen, Studio 100 International, On the Edge Animation AIE, Able & Baker, Telegael and Viva Pictures, this feature film is set for release in 2027.
