SINGAPORE - It has been 17 years since local celebrity power couple Fann Wong and Christopher Lee last worked together on the big screen, in the romantic comedy film The Wedding Game (2009).

Soon, the married Singaporean actors will do so again, this time as animated characters. They will collaborate in an upcoming local 3D-styled animated feature film, titled Library Of Mystory, slated to be released in June 2027.

Singapore-based creative studio Movitoir Studios announced the news on Sept 5. In an Instagram post, it said the film will bring the two together for their first voice acting role in an animation film as a couple.

The pair, both 55, will take on animation voice acting alongside other local talents such as Clement Yeo, Lea Chong, Yokez, Leon Markcus, Timothy Wan, Alyssa Lie, Chia Dezhong, Audrey Luo, Bryan Ong, Michael Chua, Kelsey Tan and more.

The film, set in a world inspired by the Tang dynasty, is directed, written and self-funded by Singaporean author Chen Junhua, 43, who wrote the 2016 book of the same name. After almost 100 rejections from traditional studios, he established Movitoir Studios in 2026 to independently bring the long-held project to life.

In the film, Lee and Fann will play the role of an emperor and empress respectively. They are parents of lead character Cheng Xi (voiced by Clement Yeo), a carefree young prince who would rather spend his days on wrestling, archery, cuju (an ancient Chinese ball game) and horseriding than prepare for his royal responsibilities.

With Cheng Xi’s birthday approaching and an imperial tradition requiring him to announce his chosen bride, the emperor and empress enroll him at Tanglin Academy, a prestigious school for young nobility. There, Cheng Xi meets Si Yu (Lea Chong), the intelligent and studious daughter of his lecturer, who is unimpressed by his royal status.
