Naman Ramachandran The late Oscar-winning thespian Christopher Plummer delivers his final performance in animated feature “Heroes of the Golden Masks,” also starring Patton Oswalt and Ron Perlman.
Inspired by the ancient bronze masks of Sanxingdui discovered on the archaeological site of Guanghan in the Sichuan Province in the late 1980s, the film centers on Charlie, a wise-cracking, homeless, American orphan who is magically transported to the ancient Chinese kingdom of Sanxingdui, where a colorful team of superheroes need his help to defend the city from a brutal conqueror.
Charlie joins the heroes and secretly schemes to steal the priceless golden masks that grant them their powers. Produced by CG Bros Entertainment, Arcana Studios and Golden Image Cultural Communication Inc, “Heroes of the Golden Masks” also features the voices of Natasha Liu Bordizzo (“Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon : Sword of Destiny”), Byron Mann (“Skyscraper”), Osric Chau (“2012”), Kiefer O’Reilly (“The Mighty Ducks : Game Changers”) and director Sean O’Reilly.
