The young Italian singer’s rise to success doesn’t stop: on October 23, Netflix subscribers will be able to hear Elodie sing on the soundtrack of “Over the Moon”
Netflix has a surprise in store dedicated to the platform’s youngest viewers: in the second half of October (along with many other new programs) the new animated film entitled Over the Moon – The Fantastic World of Lunaria will be released on streaming. It will be directed by the famous director Glen Keane, who has already worked on masterpieces such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
The film is already expected to be a great success, thanks to the co-production of Netflix and Pearl Studio and the presence among the producers of Gennie Rim and Peilin Chou. The plot tells the story of Fei Fei, a little girl who builds a spaceship to go to the moon and meet the goddess who lives there, proving to all his existence. This is the third film of Netflix Animation, after The Willoughby Family and Klaus. In the soundtrack of the film stands out the song “Volo via” performed by Elodie. In short, it will surely be an exciting film to watch with the whole family.
Over the Moon: the plot
Conceived by Pearl Studio, the animated film centers on the adventure of Fei Fei, a brilliant little girl who is passionate about science and decides to build a spaceship and land on the moon. Her goal is to prove the existence of the goddess who, according to legend, lives on the Earth’s satellite.
On arrival on the moon, she discovers a funny and complex world inhabited by fantastic creatures. The story is therefore about the power of determination, opening up to new worlds and accepting realities that until then seemed impossible.
In the original version, the voice of the main character Fei Fei is entrusted to actress Cathy Ang. The cast also includes Phillipa Soo, who played Eliza Hamilton in the Broadway musical: Hamilton. Another big star of the film is definitely the music.
Elodie on the Over the Moon soundtrack
The film’s music is by Christopher Curtis (Chaplin), Marjorie Duffield and Helen Park (KPOP). While the composer is the Oscar-winning Steven Price, who has already participated in Gravity.
In the Italian version there will also be the song “Volo via” performed by Elodie. The singer said she was particularly enthusiastic about her participation: “I recognized in Fei Fei’s story, in her stubbornness and in the deep bond that unites her to her family, a part of me. Her adventure moved me and reminded me how important it is to believe in dreams.”
The song will appear in the end credits and is the Italian version of the original “Rocket to the Moon,” a song composed specifically for the feature by Christopher Curtis and Marjorie Duffield.
