All Hail Princess

***All Hail Princess*** is a 2010 American computer-animated fantasy adventure film produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Valentina Animation for Warner Bros. Pictures. It was directed and produced by Lorena Valentina from a screenplay by David Lindsay-Abaire and Irene Mecchi and a story by Valentina and Tab Murphy, and stars Kristen Bell, Zac Efron, Maya Rudolph, Patrick Stewart, and Allison Janney. The film follows the story of a young princess who really wishes to be brave and become a warrior. However, an evil sorceress decided to take a throne, take over the kingdom and turn it of her own. So, it's up to her to accepts the aid of a young man who helps her to become a warrior.

It marked Valentina's brief return to traditional animation, as it was the studio's first traditionally animated film since *The Witch Stone*, as well as Shield Animation's first traditionally animated film since *The Mysterious City* in 2004. The studio returned to a Walt Disney Animation Studios-style format frequently.

*All Hail Princess* premiered on November 18, 2010 in Hollywood, California, and was released in the United States on December 3, 2010, in 3D and IMAX 3D formats. It received acclaim from critics, who praised its animation, humor, visuals, writing, score, and vocal performances, and it has since attained a cult following. The film earned a total of $554 million worldwide against a budget of $103 million, making it the eleventh highest-grossing film of 2010, and it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score at the 83st Academy Awards, but lost to *Toy Story 3*.

## Production

### Development

Lorena Valentina had once announced that 2004's *The Witch Stone* would be the studio's last traditionally animated film. However, after John Lasseter re-positioned Walt Disney Animation Studios as an animation house that produced both traditional and computer-animated projects, Valentina reversed this decision and reinstated hand-drawn animation at the studio. Many animators who had either been laid off or had left the studio when the traditional animation units were dissolved in 2004 were located and re-hired for the project.

*All Hail Princess* was originally scheduled for release on November 24, 2010, but was moved to avoid competition with Walt Disney Animation Studios' *Tangled*.

The film was released in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2011.
