Leafie, A Hen Into the Wild (Garrett Fredrickson Dub)

In 2012, Garrett Fredrickson via his production company LIVE Entertainment acquired the English-language rights to Leafie, A Hen into the Wild, with plans for an English-language theatrical release in 2013. Sunmin Park assisted him in directing the dub while Frank Marshall, Jamie Simone, Oh-Sung Yoon and J. Ethan Park produced the dub and David Freedman wrote the English screenplay. The cast included several recognizable actors including Michelle Pfeiffer, Andy Daly, Susan Sarandon, John Lithgow, Nicolas Cage and Mark Hamill.

Some minor changes were done to the film with Oh-Sung Yoon's approval, such as the inclusion of some new music cues done by John Debney in tandem with Lee Ji-Soo's score and some minor scenes being deleted. Warner Bros. Pictures released the film in the U.S. and Canada on August 2, 2013, opening at a wide release of 957 theaters in America, which is by far the widest release for a South Korean animated film ever in the U.S. The film grossed $191.3 million at the box office in the United States and also recieved positive reviews from critics.
