Back in March, Mariah announced that her legendary song “All I Want for Christmas is You” will become an animated film. “My song is becoming a movie! You’re the first to hear about this exciting news!” she tweeted. “Follow @AllIWantMovie for more updates. #AllIWantMovie.”
Directed by Guy Vasilovich, the film will expand on that of Carey’s children’s book, which shares the same name. The book tells the story of a young Mariah who finds a puppy named Princess and comes to the conclusion that that is all she wants for Christmas.
The Star does not have a set release date but is expected to premiere during the 2017 holiday season.
