The plot follows a 16-year-old who dreams to become the world's first female firefighter. ==Plot== In [[Brooklyn]] in 1920, 6-year-old Georgia Nolan aspires to be a fireman like her father used to be, before he changed his career to a tailor to be able to better take care of her after the death of her mother. After Shawn tells her that women aren't allowed to be firemen, Georgia pretends to give it up and follow in his footsteps as a seamstress, but begins training in secret on the rooftop for the next decade. Along for the ride her faithful dog sidekick Ember Nolan, a dalmatian. Ten years later, in 1930, Mayor Murray asks Shawn to end his retirement to head up a young team of firefighters to combat a serial arsonist, who uses purple gas to hypnotize others and has resulted in the disappearances of other firefighters. Wishing to help, Georgia disguises herself as a man named Joe and joins the team. While in disguise, "Joe" meets the other firemen: Jin, a Chinese-American who loves to drive faster than a cheetah but suffers from [[narcolepsy]], and Ricardo, a Spanish-American who got muscle from helping his father work at the steel mill but his true passion is for chemistry, so he calculates the best and safest way for the team to put the fires out. The last concert hall standing has a wall of policemen surrounding it but an African American opera diva named Laura Devine keeps breaking in to rehearse her upcoming musical, and when asked to leave, she backtalks Shawn by saying she grew up hearing no all the time in the Jim crow south "no don't eat off the good plates" "no don't kiss the baby" "no you must use the outhouse like the other staff", so she saved every penny to come to New York and when the lead singer "fell" off the stage she hijacked the show and got discovered so she promptly refuses to leave so she can practice where her assistant Pauline promptly fails tangling her from a rope and drops her right into a full body cast. "Joe" talks with Pauline and seeing her down about losing another job unmasks herself and tells Pauline to go after her dreams which was the worst thing to do since it revealed that she was an aspiring chemist who wanted to make special effects but kept getting rejection letters so she planned her revenge. In what might be their final hours, "Joe" tells her father everything and so does he by saying he couldn't save a couple from a fire 16 years ago. He couldn't break through a wall to get both of them out, so instead they handed their newborn daughter and he promised to always look after her and keep her safe, but if she became a firefighter he couldn't keep his promise. She tells her dad that promise or not she wants to fight fires and together, they stop Pauline. She openly joins the station as a volunteer firefighter as the end credits show that female firefighters weren’t paid until 1982. ==Cast== * [[Olivia Cooke]] as Georgia Nolan ** Maya Misaljevic as Young Georgia Nolan * [[William Shatner]] as Jimmy Murray, the mayor of New York * [[Laurie Holden]] as Pauline * [[Kenneth Branagh]] as Shawn Nolan, Georgia's father * Ryan Garcia as Ricardo * Wilex Ly as Jin * Mara Junot as Laura Divine * Scott Humphrey as Captain Neil * Shoshana Sperling as the vocal effects of Ember, Georgia Nolan's [[Dalmatian (dog)|Dalmatian]]. * Mark Edwards as Pickle Vendor ==Release== The film was released in the United States by [[Hulu]] in February 2022 exclusively on the service of the same name, and in Europe by [[Entertainment One]] throughout the rest of the year.<ref name="Variety">{{cite news |last1=Keslassy |first1=Elsa |title=Hulu Nabs U.S. Rights to Anton's Animated Family Film ''Fireheart'' (Exclusive) |url=https://variety.com/2022/film/global/hulu-us-rights-anton-fireheart-1235188647/ |access-date=February 24, 2022 |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=February 24, 2022}}</ref> The same year, the film was released as a [[Sky Cinema]] original by [[Sky Group|Sky]] on May 27 in the UK.{{Citation needed|date=May 2022}} ==Reception== On the review aggregator website [[Rotten Tomatoes]], 60% of four reviews are positive.<ref>{{cite Rotten Tomatoes|type=m|id=fireheart|title={{PAGENAMEBASE}}|access-date=June 12, 2022}}</ref> The film grossed $3.7 million at the box office.<ref name="BOM" /> == References == {{reflist}} ==External links== * {{Official website|https://latelieranimation.com/projects/fireheart/}} * {{IMDb title|8354218}} * ''[http://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.redirect?app=filvidandsou&id=572144&lang=eng Fireheart]'' at [[Library and Archives Canada]] [[Category:2020s adventure comedy films]] [[Category:2020s children's animated films]] [[Category:2022 computer-animated films]] [[Category:Animated films set in New York City]] [[Category:Animated films set in the 1920s]] [[Category:Animated films set in the 1930s]] [[Category:2020s English-language films]] [[Category:French films set in New York City]] [[Category:French adventure comedy films]] [[Category:Canadian adventure comedy films]] [[Category:2020s Canadian films]] [[Category:2020s French films]] [[Category:Films about firefighting]] [[Category:English-language adventure comedy films]]'
