Phoebe Bridgers and Billie Eilish voiced characters in the animated short film 'Prelude to The End', released on October 29, 2026, as part of the 20th-anniversary celebration of My Chemical Romance's album 'The Black Parade'. The film, directed by Lauren Tsai and produced by Unreal Inc., features Tsai as Astrid, a student who enters a surreal world after falling down a garbage chute to retrieve her sketchbook. Bridgers voices Astrid’s sister and Eilish voices her friend in a brief phone call scene, while Hideo Kojima and John C. McGinley voice the Teacher and the Dean, respectively.
The short film incorporates the album’s opening track, 'The End', and aligns with the reissue of 'The Black Parade', which was released on October 23, 2026, and includes six bonus tracks. My Chemical Romance screened 'Prelude to The End' during their final two Hollywood Bowl shows on October 30 and 31, 2026, concluding a five-show residency in Los Angeles.
