Over the Moon’s trajectory toward an Oscar nom seemed a given, with all the awards and nominations it had already claimed this season. Nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture- Animated, it was also recognized with six Annie Award nominations and more.
A musical cinematic tale about a young girl who goes to find the Chinese moon goddess Chang’e in a homemade rocket is making waves on Netflix right now. The film became the top-streamed movie or TV show on US Netflix over the weekend.
Over the Moon, co-directed by former Disney animators Glen Keane and John Kahrs, is a co-production between Pearl Studios — a Shanghai-based studio that was formerly known as Oriental DreamWorks — Sony Pictures ImageWorks and Netflix.
And, with fall entry “Over the Moon,” a gorgeous update of the Chinese Moon Goddess fable, former Disney legend Glen Keane (Oscar-winning “Dear Basketball”) makes his directorial feature debut at Netflix.
In “Over the Moon” (co-produced by China’s Pearl Studio and animated by Imageworks), 13-year-old Fei Fei (Cathy Ang) builds a rocket to the moon to meet the legendary goddess, Chang’e (Phillipa Soo of “Moana” and “Hamilton”). But her journey on Lunaria forces her to embrace change. Original songs were composed by Christopher Curtis (“Chaplin: The Musical”), Marjorie Duffield, and Helen Park (“KPOP”), and the score was by “Gravity” Oscar winner Steven Price. Also, famed costume designer Guo Pei designed the lavish gowns for Chang’e, which required Imageworks to up its simulation software.

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.
Hamilton Tony nominee Soo voices Chang'e, with newcomer Cathy Ang as Fei Fei, Tony winner Miles as Mother, and Oh as Mrs. Zhong. Also among the cast are Robert G. Chiu, John Cho, Ken Jeong, Margaret Cho, and stage regulars Kimiko Glenn and Conrad Ricamora. Over the Moon is directed by Glen Keane, with a screenplay by the late Audrey Wells and additional story by Jennifer Yee McDevitt. The movie features eight original songs by Christopher Curtis (Chaplin), Marjorie Duffield, and Helen Park (KPOP).

The musical is like Charlie Chaplin's oeuvre: ostensibly as entertaining as it is funny, yet with a deeper message. The audience had a great time on Wednesday evening in the Offenburger Oberrheinhalle.
Charlie Chaplin is considered to be Europe's most popular filmmaker and actor: the musical "Chaplin", which was presented in Frankenburg by Frank Serr Showservice International on the 130th birthday of the artist, should further strengthen this image. Sometimes fast and with a lot of slapstick, sometimes calm and thoughtful, Bas Timmers played the title role.......

Here is a show capable of arousing the interest of wide audiences. The musical by Christopher Curtis and Thomas Meehan gains a Brazilian version by Miguel Falabella and scenic direction by Mariano Detry that thrills movie fans, children or adults and can make even the detractors of the genre's overproductions applaud standing. Recognized as a dancer and singer, Jarbas Homem de Mello reaches overcoming as an actor in the characterization of one of the greatest geniuses on the screen, the Englishman Charles Chaplin (1889-1977). The show runs through his career from a poor childhood in London to the acclaim with films such as The Great Dictator and Modern Timesand offers a psychological reading of the artist that explains the dubious character or unethical attitudes. This scenic drama overlaps with good musical numbers and does not leave editing limited to singing or choreography. Juan Alba (in place of Marcello Antony) represents Sidney, the protagonist's brother and future agent, while Naíma and Paula Capovilla stand out respectively as their mother, Hannah Chaplin, and journalist Hedda Hooper. Myra Ruiz, Paulo Goulart Filho and Leandro Luna are on the cast of 21 actors. It premiered on 5/14/2015. and ran a second tour 2019 and 2020.
