Real-life couple Christopher Lee and Fann Wong voice the Emperor and Empress

9 Sep - A brand new Singapore animation studio is making a bold debut - and they've brought some serious star power along for the ride.

Movitoir Studios - a freshly founded Singapore production company with a mission to make magical storytelling through animation a reality - is launching its very first 3D animated feature film, "Library of Mystory". And for their debut, they've pulled off quite a casting coup - Malaysian-born Christopher Lee and his Singaporean wife Fann Wong are reuniting on screen for the first time in 17 years, lending their voices as the Emperor and Empress in the film's Tang dynasty-inspired world.

Fann Wong is one of Singapore's most celebrated actresses, with a career spanning more than three decades in film, television and music. She is best known internationally for playing Chon Lin alongside Jackie Chan in the 2003 Hollywood blockbuster "Shanghai Knights" - making her the first Singaporean actress to play a major role in a Hollywood production.

Her husband, Malaysian-born Christopher Lee, is a veteran actor, host and businessman who has starred in numerous Chinese-language dramas and films across Singapore, Taiwan and mainland China. The couple married in 2009 and have a son together.

About "Library of Mystory"
Set in a vibrant fictional world inspired by the Tang dynasty, "Library of Mystory" follows Prince Cheng Xi - a carefree young royal who would rather spend his days on wrestling, archery and horse-riding than prepare for his royal responsibilities. With his birthday approaching and an imperial tradition requiring him to choose a bride, his parents the Emperor (Christopher) and Empress (Fann) enrol him at Tanglin Academy.

There he meets Si Yu, a smart young woman and the daughter of one of his teachers. Although they don't get off on the right foot, the pair eventually work together after stumbling upon a hidden library and uncovering an ancient secret.

This also marks the first time the beloved real-life couple have done voice acting together for an animation - and Christopher's first ever animated feature role.

Alongside Christopher Lee and Fann Wong, "Library of Mystory" features a strong lineup of local Singapore talent including Clement Yeo, Lea Chong, Yokez, Leon Markcus, Timothy Wan, Alyssa Lie, Chia Dezhong, Audrey Luo, Bryan Ong, Michael Chua, Kelsey Tan and more.

"Library of Mystory" is set for release in June 2027
