OVER THE MOON had been in development for over a year at Pearl before Wells broke the news to Chou that she was dying of cancer, and she didn’t know how much time she had left. Chou was visiting Los Angeles when Wells shared the devastating news. “She wanted me to know the script meant everything to her. That it was the love letter she’d be leaving behind to her daughter to help her carry forth in the world.” Wells implored Chou to do everything she could to get the film made. And, though Chou had already been in the process of looking for a director, the search suddenly became a mission of utmost determination.

CAST AND CHARACTERS

• Newcomer Cathy Ang voices Fei Fei, a bright young dreamer and lover of science. She believes anything is possible and her determination to prove that Chang’e exists takes her to the moon and back.
• Hamilton star Phillipa Soo voices Chang’e, the legendary moon goddess herself. Despite being a larger-than-life diva and the source of all light on Lunaria, she still longs for Houyi, her one true love.
• Ken Jeong voices Gobi, an endearing, but sometimes exasperating Lunarian who becomes an unexpected companion to Fei Fei on her adventure.
• Robert G. Chiu voices Chin, Fei Fei’s rambunctious, high-energy brother-to-be. Though he can be annoying at times, he also believes in the impossible, just like Fei Fei.
• John Cho voices Fei Fei’s Father, the proud owner of a mooncake shop and a man of science who approaches the world logically, though he can see the joy that the legend of Chang’e brings to Fei Fei and her mother.
• Broadway star Ruthie Ann Miles voices Fei Fei’s Mother, a warm and loving figure who leads with her heart and is inspired by Fei Fei’s imagination.
• Sandra Oh voices Mrs. Zhong, Patient and understanding, Mrs. Zhong is Fei Fei’s future stepmother. She gives Fei Fei the room she needs to understand and work through her feelings.
• Kimiko Glenn voices Auntie Mei, a romantic who loves the stories about Chang’e.
• Margaret Cho voices Auntie Ling, who believes that the stories about Chang’e are nothing more than tall tales.
• Bungee was a gift from Mother and is Fei Fei’s most loyal (and adorable) companion — one who literally follows her to the ends of the Earth.
• Croak is Chin’s pet frog who, unlike his owner, remains fairly chill under most circumstances.
