    "articleBody": "Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays a mother losing her memory, Bryan Cranston plays the husband trying to hold the house together, and Seth Rogen turns up as the sister’s boyfriend. The film is Tangles, a hand-drawn adult animated drama about Alzheimer’s disease, and it now has firm US dates: a limited theatrical opening on January 15, 2027, with a wider rollout on January 22. Before that, the distributor IFC (formerly IFC Films) plans a one-week awards-qualifying run in New York and Los Angeles starting November 27, which puts the movie in contention for next year’s Oscar season. A new trailer and poster arrived alongside the dates, according to a report on the release. A graphic memoir becomes a film Tangles adapts Sarah Leavitt’s 2010 graphic memoir Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer’s, My Mother and Me. Leavitt co-wrote the screenplay with director Leah Nelson and Trev Renney, so the author of the book had a hand in shaping her own family on screen. The festival synopsis follows Sarah, an artist and activist living in 1990s San Francisco, who heads home to the conservative small town she left once her mother Midge begins to change. Sarah expects to cope. The story is about how she learns she cannot simply manage the illness and has to become a different kind of daughter instead. Abbi Jacobson voices Sarah. Louis-Dreyfus, who is also a producer, voices Midge, and Cranston voices Sarah’s father, Rob. The rest of the ensemble reads like a comedy roll call: Beanie Feldstein voicing Hannah, Sarah’s sister Seth Rogen voicing Zach, who is dating Hannah Samira Wiley as Donimo, Sarah’s girlfriend Pamela Adlon and Sarah Silverman as aunts Debbie and Sukey Bowen Yang and Wanda Sykes as Sarah’s co-worker and boss Phil Rosenthal, Adam Shapiro and Pat Finn also have small roles. Why Rogen’s name is on it twice Rogen is a producer as well as a voice, through Point Grey Pictures, alongside his longtime partner Evan Goldberg and his wife, Lauren Miller Rogen, whose Lylas Pictures is also credited. The subject is close to home for the couple. In 2012 they founded Hilarity for Charity, a nonprofit that raises awareness and money for Alzheimer’s research, and the disease runs in Miller Rogen’s family; her mother was diagnosed at 55. The animation came from Giant Ant, a studio based in Vancouver, which makes Tangles a United States and Canada co-production. That fits Leavitt’s own story, since the memoir is set partly in Canada. From Cannes to the awards race For a debut feature, the film has had a busy year. Here is how it got from the Croisette to US screens: May 14: world premiere in the Special Screenings section at Cannes, with nominations for two prizes there, the Caméra d’Or for first features and the Queer Palm. August: IFC acquires North American rights. September: North American premiere as a Centrepiece title at the Toronto International Film Festival, then the Sebastiane Award at San Sebastián on September 26. November 27: the New York and Los Angeles qualifying run. January 15 and 22, 2027: limited, then wide US release. That path matters because adult animation rarely gets this kind of awards push. Badiyaa recently covered how Coyote vs. Acme entered the Best Animated Feature race years after it was shelved, and Tangles looks set to join a crowded category aimed squarely at grown-ups. Animation for older audiences keeps growing on streaming too, as Netflix’s two-season order for the animated Twilight series Midnight Sun shows. The film runs 102 minutes, with a score by Dan Romer and editing by David Avery. Its first public ticketed screenings in the United States begin on November 27.
