Over the Moon is a 2020 American-Chinese computer-animated musical family fantasy film, which was directed by Glen Keane and co-directed by John Kahrs, from a screenplay by Audrey Wells with additional screenplay material by Alice Wu and Jennifer Yee McDevitt.
The film was produced by Pearl Studio and Netflix Animation, and animated by Sony Pictures Imageworks. It stars the voices of Cathy Ang, Phillipa Soo, Ken Jeong, John Cho, Ruthie Ann Miles, Margaret Cho, and Sandra Oh.
When Fei Fei was a young girl, her now-deceased mother told her the story of Chang'e, a moon goddess of Chinese mythology who is waiting on the moon for her one and only true love.Her friends and family think it's just a silly myth, so the 13-year-old girl, who's a STEM-proficient student, decides to build a rocketship herself so she can find Chang'e and prove the story is true.

This is my first AMA so Iβll do my best to answer as quickly and as best as I can. Iβm so honored to be able to share Dear Basketball with you. It is now available on Verizon Mediaβs go90. You can watch it here: https://www.go90.com/videos/261MflWkD3N. (Viewable within the US only.)
About me: I spent 38 wonderful years at Walt Disney Feature Animation. I started at Disney in 1974 mentored by Nine Old Men, Ollie Johnson, Frank Thomas, and Eric Larson. During my time at Disney, I created and animated characters like Ariel from βThe Little Mermaidβ, βAladdinβ, βPocahontasβ, the Beast from βBeauty and the Beastβ, and Tarzan. I also served as Supervising Animator and Executive Producer on βTangledβ. In 2012, I formed my own production company and have created films for Google, the Paris Ballet, Riot Games, and now most recently, Dear Basketball.
Iβm here to talk about Dear Basketball but feel free to Ask Me Anything. I will be answering questions from 12:30PM PST - 2:30PM PST.
Hi Everyone! This has been a real treat for me. I've only got time for one more question, but thank you so much Redditors for allowing me to spend some time with you.
