Vision Films Acquires MuslimKids.TV’s Animated Feature Film ‘Time Hoppers’ adding to slate of films heading to Cannes

Vision Films is heading to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival with a varied slate of films including the newly acquired Time Hoppers from MuslimKids.TV’s creators Flordeliza Dayrit and Michael Milo. The film is executive  producers Mohannad Malas, Dr. Abdullah Patel, Dr. Fatima Coovadia, and Dr. Hussein Amery and is partly funded by Canada Media Fund, Shaw Rocket Fund, Alberta Media Fund, and federal and provincial tax credits.

Time Hoppers is a 3D animated adventure geared towards children and families, taking them through history to discover the important role the Silk Road played in the development of modern science. In their time travel adventure, the highly diverse cast, including four American children, encounter amazing scientists from the past including Ibn Al-Haytham, who discovered camera obscura that lead to photography, Al-Khawarizmi, who invented the algorithm laying the foundation for computing, Maryam Astrolabi, an innovator in astronomical instruments who made the astrolabe (history’s “super computer”) and forged a path for women in science, and Mansa Musa, the West African ruler said to be the richest person who ever lived, and a tremendous patron of science, culture and learning.  All of these and more played an important role in forming the world in which we now  live.  

Milo shares, “Time Hoppers is rich in the cultures of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. It also celebrates the history of science and the fact that all cultures have had a part in building the world of science we have today. Through the little-known stories of Arab and Muslim contributors to modern science, we made a beautiful and relatable film that has a high degree of historical accuracy and sensitivity.”

Time Hoppers will have an early fall theatrical release followed by Transaction VOD at the end of the year. Watch the trailer here:
