PEARL Studio’s latest animated musical feature “Over the Moon” is slated for release Oct. 23 in China, announced its production house.

The film will join two other domestic productions, “Legend of Deification” and “Kung Fu Mulan,” both animation films, to hit theaters in October.

A joint production by Pearl Studio and Netflix and directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Glen Keane, the story of “Over the Moon” revolves around a girl who builds a rocket ship to travel to the moon hoping to meet the legendary Moon Goddess.

Shanghai-headquartered Pearl Studio had previously co-produced the 2019 animated adventure film “Abominable” with DreamWorks Animation.

“Kung Fu Mulan,” a historical action-adventure based on the popular Chinese legend, centers around Mulan’s struggles within the army as she strives to become a national heroine. It hit theaters Oct 3, two days after the release of “Legend of Deification,” during this year’s National Day holiday that ran from Oct. 1 to 8.

“Legend of Deification” is from the companies behind last year’s China box office champion “Ne Zha.”

Movie theaters in China raised their cap on maximum seating capacity from 50 percent to 75 percent Sept. 25, spurring further recovery of the world’s second-largest box-office market. China’s box-office revenue has totaled around 5.5 billion yuan to date since theaters reopened July 20, according to data compiled by Maoyan, a movie ticketing and film data platform.(Xinhua)
