The original score for the film hails from Academy Award-winner Alan Menken, with lyrics by Glenn Slater. Chris Montan serves as executive music producer. John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and David Lipman are producing for Skydance Animation.
As for the role itself, Ellian is a "tenacious princess" who sets off on a quest to "save her family and "kingdom after a mysterious spell transforms her parents into monsters and threatens to cover Lumbria in darkness forever."
The new movie will join a growing collection of Apple TV+ movies and TV shows that are aimed at families and children. The movie is also being made with Skydance Animation, following on from Blush, a previous movie from the paring with Apple Original Movies.
