Baobab’s newest VR experience coming soon to Oculus Quest, “Baba Yaga,” invites you to be a main character in a haunting fairytale world completely reimagined. Your choices determine the ending of this story of love, fortitude and magic. Sometimes a force for evil, sometimes a force for good, the enigmatic witch Baba Yaga (Kate Winslet) uses her powers to stop the villagers whose settlement encroaches upon her enchanted Forest (Jennifer Hudson). When the your mother, the Chief (Glenn Close), falls deathly ill, it is up to you and your sister Magda (Daisy Ridley) to do the unthinkable-enter the forbidden rainforest, uncover its hidden mysteries and get the cure from Baba Yaga. Ultimately, every decision you make matters … perhaps even whether humanity and nature can live in balance.
“Baba Yaga,” is directed and written by Eric Darnell (“Madagascar” franchise, “Antz”) and co-directed by Mathias Chelebourg, The film stars Oscar® winner Kate Winslet (“The Reader,” and the upcoming film “Ammonite”), Daisy Ridley (“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” “Ophelia”), Oscar and three-time Grammy® winner Jennifer Hudson (“Dreamgirls,” and the upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic “Respect”), and three-time Golden Globe® winner and seven-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close (“The Wife,” “Albert Nobbs”). The VR immersive experience is a contemporary portrayal of the Eastern European legend breathed to life with illustrative 2D pop-up animation, as well as hand-drawn and stop-motion styles, creating a modern visual language for VR inspired by classic animation. “Baba Yaga” blends theater, cinema, interactivity, AI, and animation into a unique experience that explores themes of empowerment and environmentalism. “Baba Yaga” is executive produced by Jennifer Hudson, Maureen Fan, Larry Cutler, and Kane Lee.
