High in the Clouds[1] is an upcoming American animated musical film based on the novel of the same name by Paul McCartney.[1] Produced by Gaumont Animation[1] and directed by Timothy Reckart,[1] the film will premiere on Netflix.
Synopsis
High in the Clouds centers on a whimsical teenage squirrel (Wirral) who finds himself pulled into an eccentric team of teenage rebels, after he accidentally offends a tyrannical owl leader (Gretsch) that steals the voice of anyone who upstages her.
Production
First announced back in 2013, the film originally had Tony Bancroft on board as director with a script written by Josh Klausner. It had a planned release for 2015 in theaters[2] with Lady Gaga contributing to its soundtrack with an original song.[3] The film was optioned by Gaumont in 2017 after its original production company RGH Entertainment closed its Woodland Hills offices.[4]
In December 2019, it was announced that streaming company Netflix partnered up with Gaumont's subsidiary animation studio to co-distribute.[5] Timothy Reckart signed on as director[6] with former Beatle singer and author Paul McCartney serving as producer and songwriter on composing original songs for the film.[6]
