Irons, known for his commanding presence, shared his excitement about the role, stating, “Mordokan is a complex character, both a greedy industrialist and a caring father, but his internal grief puts at risk his new planet and all the colorful animals who live there.”
A Thrilling Sci-Fi Adventure with a Powerful Message
The film follows 11-year-old Rea, who moves to a distant planet in an outer-space colony. There, she discovers a mysterious animal cub while her father works in a factory that builds robotic creatures.

A Visionary Director’s Journey into Animation
For director Arsen Anton Ostojic, “The Crystal Planet” marks his first animated feature. Reflecting on the project, he revealed, “My late professor, the Oscar-winner Dušan Vukotić, shared a draft of the script with me back in the ‘90s.
Years later, after inheriting the rights, I hesitated—unsure I could meet the challenge. But once I partnered with Alkay Animation Prague and its visionary producer Petr Horak, as well as Peter Badač from BFilm, I found the path forward.”
Cutting-Edge Animation from Top Studios
The film is produced by Filmosaurus Rex (Croatia), BFilm (Slovakia), and Alkay Animation Prague, one of the Czech Republic’s leading animation studios.
Animation is supervised by Jakub Pistecky, whose credits include “Rango,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and “The Avengers”.
