“I can't think of Ellian without thinking of Rachel Zegler,” said Jenson.“She just IS Ellian.She's got such a wonderful, charismatic personality, very real and fresh.
She's a great actress and a stunning singer.When we met and started working with her, she was just down for it, down to play, to try anything.Even in her earliest demos of the songs she was weeping, she was laughing, she just brought everything and left nothing on the table.
A lot of what she did in those early days is still in the movie, it was just that good. Rachel is one of a kind.She simply has everything.” Joining Zegler on the all-star voice cast is Nicole Kidman () as Queen Ellsmere; Javier Bardem () as King Solon; John Lithgow (, ) as Minister Bolinar; Jenifer Lewis (, ) as Minister Nazara Prone; Nathan Lane (, ) as the Oracle of the Sun; André De Shields (, ) as the Oracle of the Moon; and Jordan Fisher (Broadway’s ,) as Callan.“ is about what it is that really makes a family,” added Jenson.
“Like any timeless myth or lasting fairytale, I believe the meaning reaches even further than the specifics of this family’s dynamic.It speaks to kids and their parents and the kinds of alienation that can happen between them as well as the steps we have to take toward each other, how we can weather it together, to come through to the other side with better understanding.John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bruce Anderson produce for Skydance Animation.
