The acclaimed animator behind such powerful
figures as Ariel, Aladdin, Tarzan and Rapunzel
has a new heroine and she’s going further than
any of his creations — the moon.
Twelve-year-old Fei Fei builds a handmade
rocket to blast into outer space in the new
Netflix movie musical “Over the Moon,” the first
animated film backed by a major Hollywood
studio to feature an entirely Asian cast.
The film stars newcomer Cathy Ang as our
plucky heroine, backed by such voice actors
as “Hamilton” star Phillipa Soo, comedians Ken
Jeong and Margaret Cho, “Star Trek” star John
Cho, Broadway veterans Ruthie Ann Miles and
Kimiko Glenn, and “Killing Eve” star Sandra Oh.
