LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Chinese-American co-production "Over the Moon" landed on Netflix, the world's leading streaming entertainment service, on Friday.

The animated adventure drama film is a co-production between Netflix Animation and the Shanghai-based Pearl Studio, formerly known as Oriental DreamWorks. The film revolves around a 12-year-old girl, Fei Fei, who builds a rocket ship to travel to the moon hoping to meet Chang'e, the legendary Moon Goddess.

Partnered with DreamWorks Animation, Pearl Studio is the production house behind animated film "Abominable," one of the most successful Chinese-American co-productions of 2019, which took the top spot in the North American box office over its opening weekend and has grossed over 60 million U.S. dollars in North America for a global total of 190 million dollars.

Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Glen Keane in his feature directorial debut after nearly 50 years in the industry, "Over the Moon" stars the voices of a strong Asian-American voice cast, including Cathy Ang, Phillipa Soo, Ken Jeong and John Cho.

Keane, 66, is a veteran Disney animator for feature films including "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin." He won the Academy Award along with NBA legend Kobe Bryant for his animated short "Dear Basketball" in 2018.

"Over the Moon" is also slated to hit theaters in China this weekend. Enditem
