Ico (film)/Trivia

Trivia

 * Due to the original game's darker, serious and dramatic tone (which was rated T for Teen by the ESRB), the film will most likely receive a PG-13 rating (in the vein of the 2009 Tim Burton-produced animated film 9), making it the first Gingo Animation film to receive that rating; all of that studio's previous films were rated PG with an exception of Paint World (1999) which was rated G.
 * This will be the first Gingo Animation film to be distributed by another film studio besides Universal Pictures, as Sony still owns the rights for the Team Ico games including Ico (2001) via Sony Interactive Entertainment.
 * The twelfth Gingo Animation film to be released in July, after The Gabriel Garza Movie, Computeropolis, M.I.S.S.I.O.N., BJ and Wally, Computeropolis 2, Swapped, Gabriel Garza, Plucky Chicken, Gabriel Garza 2, Gabriel Garza 3 and Computeropolis: The Deep Web.
 * The fifth Sony Pictures Animation film to be released in July, after The Smurfs, The Smurfs 2, The Emoji Movie and Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation.
 * The third time that Gingo Animation releases two films in the same year, while the other film is Paradoria 2, after 2015 and 2017.
 * The second Gingo Animation film to be based on a video game, after The Planetokio Movie.
 * The first Sony Pictures Animation film to be based on a video game.
 * This will be the first ever co-production in the Gingo Animated Continuity.
 * Will be Gingo's 20th feature film.
