## About the Show

As part of the CrossMore project, Royale is one of the two anime series announced alongside CrossMore: The Series, set to be animated by OLM and Xebec and directed by Naohito Takahashi (Berserk '97, Little Battlers eXperience) and written by Shogo Muto (Kamen Rider Build) and Yuko Kakihara (Digimon Adventure tri., Persona 4: The Animation) (from a story by Aaron Montalvo, Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz and Jared Bush, with supervision by Kazushige Nojima), with character designs by John Joseco (Harmony Unleashed: Human Ponidox Continuum Shift, The Hunters of Salamanstra) adapted by Chizuru Kobayashi (Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne) with music by Alan Silvestri and additional arrangements by Matthew Margeson.

However, due to Xebec being transferred from I.G. Port to Sunrise, Xebec is now replaced with Wit Studio and The Answer Studio. But the production crew remains unchanged while Tetsuo Yajima (Pokemon) and Fumio Maezono (Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!) directs the series, and Takahashi is promoted to chief director.

The characters in the series will feature from Disney Animation feature films such as Frozen, Moana, and Tangled and are set in a modern-day alternate universe mixed with fantasy themes. It is also confirmed that, unlike CrossMore: The Animation, CrossMore Royale will be in the same universe as CrossMore: The Series, as the former will have its own continuity that features a crossover series of both shows with other franchises (including Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar characters) to join in future episodes.

A second season has been ordered, but OLM and Wit Studio will only return for the series and Yajima leaves the series, making Maezono the only series director. The series will also have a crossover with Royal Painmakers as well as including characters from Big Hero 6 and Wreck-It-Ralph, as well as Past Disney Princesses and Encanto.

A third season is announced, confirmed to be the series' final season, and will take place after the events of the film, leading to the inclusion of Descendants.

The English dub for the anime is directed by Gary Rydstorm (Star Wars, The Wind Rises) with assistance from Ginny McSwain and Sara Jean Sherman. It will take place at Salami Studios. The series is later licensed for home video and merchandise by Buena Vista Home Entertainment in co-operation with Hollowfox Entertainment and Disney Platform Distribution.

### Premise

Times have been evolved for Disney Princesses, especially modern films, but in an alternate universe in modern times (in the fictional district of Waltopia, California), a royalty-bound queen named Elsa and her sister Anna are managing their ways of facing responsibility in a modern kingdom, especially when they also have normal lives with their sisterhood and Anna's relationship with Kristoff, and especially having Anna putting up with Elsa's magical powers.

However, an encounter by coincidence and fate from an unknown person, Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Kristoff encounters Rapunzel, Pascal, Cassandra, Flynn Rider, Moana and Maui, and finds out that they have powers similar to Elsa's (albeit different ones). Together, they must find out what made them special, what would be controllable, and what would they face beyond their comprehension in their lives.
