Production is now in full swing on on Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You, a fun, and heartwarming holiday story brought to life in beautifully-realized CGI animation. Based on one of the best-selling and most beloved Christmas songs of all time and the children’s book it inspired, the film which features Mariah Carey’s iconic song “All I Want for Christmas is You,” will be released on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital HD and On Demand this holiday season from Universal 1440 Entertainment, a production entity of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. One of the top-selling female musical artists in history, Mariah Carey also narrates and produces the film, which shares one of her most treasured holiday wishes.
“I am thrilled to be able to bring the story of the song to new generations of families,” said the global superstar.
Originally released in 1994, the single “All I Want for Christmas is You” has sold more than 14 million copies. In 2016, more than two decades later, it was the year’s most streamed holiday single. Carey’s critically-acclaimed picture book of the same name, published in 2015, has already sold over 750,000 copies.
“Like the song itself, Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ is destined to become an enduring family holiday classic,” said Glenn Ross, general manager and executive vice president, Universal 1440 Entertainment. “It is packed with family fun, holiday spirit, poignant moments – and of course, Mariah Carey!”
The film features the voices of Mariah Carey (Mariah Carey: Around the World, Precious), Breanna Yde (School of Rock, The Haunted Hathaways), Henry Winkler (Happy Days, Royal Pains), Lacey Chabert (Mean Girls, Party of Five), Phil Morris (Smallville, Seinfeld), Laya Hayes (Doc McStuffins, Sister Code) and Keiko Agena (Gilmore Girls, Transformers: Dark of the Moon).
