GKIDS have set a streaming release date for their animated music drama THE COLORS WITHIN, which will arrive on VOD and digital platforms on April 1st, 2025. The film world premiered at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival before launching in US theaters on January 24th, 2025.

The Colors Within is directed by Naoko Yamada and produced by Science Saru, and the English voice cast includes Kylie McNeill, Eddy Lee, Libby Rue, and Eileen Stevens.

In the film, Totsuko is a high school student with the ability to see the 'colors' of others. Colors of bliss, excitement, and serenity, plus a color she treasures as her favorite. Kimi, a classmate at her school, gives off the most beautiful color of all. Although she doesn't play an instrument, Totsuko forms a band with Kimi and Rui, a quiet music enthusiast they meet at a used bookstore in a far corner of town. As they practice at an old church on a remote island, music brings them together, forming friendships and stirring affections.
