SKYLINE entertainment is coproducing and distributing this 3D animation feature film for the Benelux. Its stereoscopic release is scheduled for Christmas 2010. The Magic Crystal is a family story with attractive characters and a strong scenario directed by Antti Haikala (Finland). The goal is to use the strengths of traditional animation and 3D animation’s effectiveness. We will create an imaginary environment that suits our fairytale. Lapland is the setting for the story and the interiors will be very imaginative places. Santa’s palace will be a huge hi-tech complex where all of the Christmas presents are made. The villain’s place is like an enormous factory made of ice and rock.
Currently, we are defining the post-production pipeline in collaboration with CoToon (Liège) and CGLux (Luxemburg). A teaser is already planned for the end of this year. We hope we made you curious.
