About The Lunar Chronicles?

“To create a world as vibrant and bold as The Lunar Chronicles, a group of real visionaries is required. This is the type of narrative that seems to have been waiting to be told for the right time and for the right people. Bill Damaschke, President of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, and Natalie Fischer, CEO of Locksmith Animation, described it as “exciting, emotional, and totally different from anything we’ve seen before.”

Creative Team

A screenplay by Lindsey Ferrentino (The Fear of 13, Queen of Versailles, The Artist) and writing partners Kalen Egan & Travis Sentell (Electric Dreams, The Man in the High Castle) is produced by Christina Steinberg (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Trollhunters, Rise of the Guardians).

The second project that Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation have collaborated on is The Lunar Chronicles. It comes after Bad Fairies, an animated film musical that will be released in theaters in July 2027. The Cat in the Hat, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation’s next project, is scheduled for release early in the upcoming year.
