GKIDS and Shout! Factory present the charming fantasy/science fiction romance SATELLITE GIRL AND MILK COW (??? ??? ???, Uribyeol Ilho-wa Eollugso, 2014) on Blu-ray/DVD on June 5, 2018. Bonus features include the short film COFFEE VENDING MACHINE AND ITS SWORD and trailers. The debut feature-length film from Korean director Chang Hyung-yun, acclaimed creator of animated short films that have premiered and won prizes at festivals worldwide, the highly original SATELLITE GIRL AND MILK COW was produced by Cho Young-kag (THE FAKE, THE KING OF PIGS), and received an Asia Pacific Screen Award nomination for Best Animated Feature. An out-of-commission satellite picks up a lovelorn ballad on her radio antenna and descends to Earth to find the source of such sincere emotions. But on the way, she is caught in a raging magical battle and transforms into Satellite Girl. Meanwhile, the balladeer in question -- a loser twentysomething at a café open mic -- meets the fate that befalls all broken-hearted lovers: he is turned into a farm animal. But love knows no bounds, and aided by the wise and powerful Merlin -- a wizard who has been turned into a roll of toilet paper -- our duo must evade the all-consuming incinerator monster, the wily pig witch, and other nefarious adversaries in an attempt to be together.
