My Chemical Romance have released Prelude To The End, a new animated short film featuring voice contributions from Billie Eilish, Phoebe Bridgers and other performers.

The film was made with visual artist Lauren Tsai and her independent studio, UNREAL INC. It brings together the visual world of Tsai’s animated film The Dying World and “The End.”, the opening track on My Chemical Romance’s 2006 album The Black Parade. The band is celebrating the album’s 20th anniversary.

The nine-minute story follows Astrid, a student at a mysterious New England boarding school overrun with rubbish. After school authorities throw away her cherished sketchbook, she follows it down a rubbish chute and enters a surreal world inhabited by forgotten ideas.

Tsai voices Astrid, Eilish plays her friend and Bridgers voices her sister. Japanese video game designer Hideo Kojima plays a character called The Teacher, while Scrubs actor John C. McGinley voices The Dean.

The film is also due to screen before the band’s final two Hollywood Bowl concerts, on October 30 and 31. The shows will close the US leg of My Chemical Romance’s Long Live The Black Parade anniversary tour.
