Magic Frame Animation and Creation Entertainment Media today announced their co-production of upcoming CG-animated feature film, Rebellious (95’), which will have its global premiere at AFM (Oct. 31-Nov. 5). The partners further revealed that writers Analisa LaBianco (Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Tom and Jerry in New York) and Jeffery Spencer (Secret Magic Control Agency) have been attached to the project. Sasha Shapiro (Dirty Grandpa) is the producer of the film.
“We are so excited to share this special project for the first time at AFM. This story and its unique characters from a range of cultural backgrounds, stand out from other fairytales,” said Linda Chirita, Head of Sales & Co-Productions at Magic Frame Animation. “Rebellious is all about empowerment, with the princess at the center of the action! We look forward to sharing this story with audiences and potential partners next month.”
About the film:
In this modern fairytale, a headstrong princess is kidnapped by an evil sorcerer, Kezabor. The princess’s clever fiancé must use his wit in an epic quest to find her, while the princess boldly challenges her captors and plots a daring escape. The film puts a contemporary spin on the classic fairytale, introducing the “modern princess.” Rather than surrendering to circumstances out of her control, she has autonomy and chooses her own path.
Taking inspiration from the classic Beauty and the Beast story, Rebellious is set amongst an array of exotic locations including mystical forests and dangerous dungeons. The film will introduce a diverse range of characters from unique backgrounds, in a modern take on the classic fairytale.
Rebellious is being directed by Alex Tsitsilin (Secret Magic Control Agency), produced by Shapiro and Sefi Carmel (Legacy of Lies), CEO of Creation Entertainment Media. Carmel is also composing the music, created in Dolby Atmos by SphereTrax. The sound design and Dolby Atmos mixing is by Soundtrack Creation in London.
The cast is set to be announced in the coming months.
“The incredible team behind this film have brought this modern fairytale to life through its dynamic characters, and we are delighted to share it with potential buyers next month at AFM,” said Carmel. “Inspired by aspects of some of the most popular fairytales, Rebellious has so much to offer including a brave princess and a whole lot of action!”
