In the original US production, Hank is voiced by actor Michael Cera (“Scott Pilgrim Against the World”), while Samuel L. Jackson (“Captain Marvel) plays his feline sensei Jimbo, in a star-studded cast.
The film is directed by three Disney veterans who worked together on the classic “Lion King” (1994): Rob Minkoff (original director), Mark Koetsier (animator) and Chris Bailey (animator). But it impressed neither the public nor the critics (55% approval) in the United States.

| AFTER – AFTER THE PROMISE |
The couple Tessa (Josephine Langford) and Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) return to an atmosphere of reconciliation, after three box office and critical harassment. With fewer hot scenes, the fourth film at least explains why the franchise is called “After”. Tip: Hardin is writing a book.
But the hard truth is that the couple’s romance proved to have no future from the first film. With a paltry 17% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the initial “After” reflects its origins as a fanfic embodying all the clichés of the genre, with a romantic and demure protagonist who meets a handsome rebel and “loses her head”. But the warm atmosphere of “Fifty Shades of Gray” without perversion and for teenagers thrilled many girls. Thus came the sequel, “After: After the Truth”, considered even worse with only 14% approval. And with just $ 2 million at the US box office in 2020, before the pandemic!
Finally, “After – After Disencounter” managed to achieve the feat that everyone expected: it reached 0% with criticism, keeping the box office of 2 million dollars on the domestic market. What expectations can you now have in relation to the fourth title? The latter is directed by Castille Landon, who plans to make at least two other feature films.
