Netflix continues to shake up the animation landscape with original feature films. Last December’s Klaus, from Despicable Me creator Sergio Pablos, snagged an Oscar nomination. Earlier this year, The Willoughbys, a quirky children’s tale adapted from a Lois Lowry book, hit the streaming platform.
Directed by animation legend Glen Keane, and produced by Gennie Rim and Peilin Chou, Over the Moon is an exhilarating musical adventure about moving forward, embracing the unexpected, and the power of imagination.
The movie will feature the voices of Cathy Ang, Phillipa Soo, Ken Jeong, John Cho, Ruthie Ann Miles, Sandra Oh, Robert G. Chiu, Margaret Cho, and Kimiko Glenn.
Netflix’s next movie comes from the acclaimed Glen Keane (a character animator on The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Tangled, to name a few) and China’s Pearl Studios. Entitled Over the Moon, the movie follows a young girl in China bent on proving the existence of the legendary Moon Goddess.
As the trailer progresses — the CG animation interwoven
with 2D watercolor visuals when recounting the — it’s evident that the
girl sees the Moon Goddess as a stand-in for her deceased mother, making
her mission to prove that the beautiful woman in the sky is real all
the more heartfelt.
