Set to debut this fall on the streaming service, "Over the Moon" is the feature-length directorial debut of legendary Disney animator Glen Keane. Some of his most popular creations include Ariel ("The Little Mermaid"), the Beast ("Beauty and the Beast"), and the title character of "Aladdin."
The film is also the last movie from screenwriter Audrey Wells ("The Hate U Give"), which she wrote as a love letter for her husband and daughter before her death in 2018.
The movie features a predominantly Asian cast led by newcomer Cathy Ang as Fei Fei and Phillipa Soo ("Hamilton") as the Moon Goddess, Chang'e. The cast also includes Sandra Oh, John Cho, Ken Jeong, Kimiko Glenn, and Margaret Cho.
"Over the Moon" will stream on Netflix this fall.
