ONCE UPON A ZODIAC, In a mystical, wondrous world populated with the animals of the Zodiac, a group of not-yet-friends are brought together by fate. The strength of the Tiger champion and the brains of the Rat genius are nothing compared to the street smarts and courage of a plucky orphaned Dragon. This unlikely trio set out to find missing parents, solve a growing mystery, and help the Grand Council conquer chaos and distrust to usher their world – and ours – into a bright new future.
Sook Yhun, associate producer added: “Having worked closely with Jackie Chan, we believe he brings just the perfect touch of voice talent to ONCE UPON A ZODIAC.”
