Manga Productions is a subsidiary of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Foundation, also known as MiSK, and named for Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.
The companies are producing the film in both Japan and Saudi Arabia (Manga Productions has branches in Riyadh and Tokyo).
Manga Productions had scheduled to premiere the film at the Cannes Film Festival last May until the physical event was canceled.
Manga Productions previously streamed a teaser trailer in November 2017 for “The Woodcutter’s Treasure,” its first collaboration with Toei Animation.
