The Netflix-Pearl Studio co-production follows the story of Fei Fei as she builds a rocket ship to travel to the moon and save Chang’e, who, according to the real Chinese myth, was sent to the satellite after drinking a magical potion by accident. Over the Moon will debut on the streaming service later this year.
Over the Moon is an upcoming animated musical co-production between Netflix and Pearl Studio. The feature is directed by animation veteran Glen Keane, and the story was written by the late Audry Wells and Jennifer Yee McDevitt. Wells, sadly, passed away in October 2018, which lead to McDevitt completing Wells’ vision for the story.
