Final Trailer and New Stills from Glen Keane’s ‘Over the Moon’
Netflix has just dropped the final trailer and new series of stills from their highly anticipated animated musical adventure, Over the Moon, directed by the legendary Oscar-winning director Glen Keane (Dear Basketball) and co-directed by Oscar-winning director John Kahrs (Paperman). The film, produced by Pearl Studios, the animation house that co-produced last year’s Abominable with DreamWorks Animation, will premiere on the streaming giant this coming October 23.
In the film, Fei Fei, a bright young girl fueled with determination and a passion for science, builds a rocket ship to the moon to prove the existence of a legendary Moon Goddess. There she ends up on an unexpected quest, and discovers a whimsical land of fantastical creatures. In the trailer we learn a bit more about our feisty heroine and her seemingly impossible quest to build a rocket to the moon; despite the odds, she succeeds, though her miraculous journey to prove the Moon Goddess is not just a childish myth puts her in the middle of a contest no one could have predicted.
Netflix will release the film on October 23 worldwide except in China. Pearl Studios will distribute the film in the Middle Kingdom.
