Singapore Polytechnic's Media, Arts & Design School (SP MAD) is proud to announce that our students have contributed to Library of Mystory, an ambitious homegrown 3D-styled animated feature film produced by Movitoir Studios — and one of the most exciting local animation productions in recent memory.

The film has been making headlines for bringing together local celebrity couple Christopher Lee and Fann Wong for their first animated feature film debut, reuniting them on the big screen for the first time in 17 years. The pair lend their voices to the Emperor and Empress in the film, joining an ensemble cast of established local veterans and emerging homegrown voice performers.

About the Film

Set in a vibrant, Tang Dynasty-inspired fictional world, Library of Mystory follows the carefree Prince Cheng Xi, who is enrolled in Tanglin Academy — a prestigious school for young nobility — by his royal parents in the hope that he will find a bride before his upcoming birthday. There, he crosses paths with Si Yu, the sharp and studious daughter of his lecturer, who remains entirely unimpressed by his royal charm. When the unlikely pair accidentally uncovers the hidden Library of Mystory, they stumble upon an ancient secret profound enough to alter their destinies and the fate of the entire empire.

The film is directed, written and self-funded by the author of the original book of the same name, who — after facing nearly a hundred rejections from traditional studios — founded Movitoir Studios to bring this 15-year creative vision to life independently. The production is built on three key pillars: 100% human artistry and authentic performance, next-generation animation workflows, and a commitment to nurturing local industry talent.

SP MAD's Contribution

As an institutional partner of the production, SP MAD students specialising in Animation & Games, Sound & Music have contributed their skills to bringing this cinematic world to life alongside industry professionals. The collaboration reflects SP MAD's commitment to preparing students for real-world creative careers by connecting them with meaningful, industry-scale projects.

The production also partners with ITE College Central's School of Design & Media, further demonstrating the strength of Singapore's homegrown creative education ecosystem.

"By combining icons like Christopher and Fann with Singapore's brightest upcoming talents, original music, and modern 3D pipelines, we want to prove that world-class cinematic storytelling can be built right here at home," said the Author and Director at Movitoir Studios.

We are incredibly proud of our SP MAD students for their contributions to this landmark production. Library of Mystory is a powerful reminder of what Singapore's creative talent — both established and emerging — is capable of achieving.
