Meli: Tales of the Void

Meli: Tales of the Void is an upcoming World of Meli Original Movie, slated for a Summer 2018 Release. It is loosely based on the cancelled series of the same name. The movie was first announced on September 17, 2017. It will be the first fully animated World of Meli Original Movie, and the second overall.

Premise
Good meets Evil in this all new World of Meli Original Movie! The Void is a peaceful place, one that it's inhabitants have known all their lives. But when unknown evil forces invade, it's up to our heroes to save it! Join Meli, Maddie, Hooded Figure, Marshal, Katie, and Sue on the most epic tale yet to save The Void!

Production
Meli: Tales of the Void was originally conceived as a series; the first series on World of Meli to feature voice acting. The series would have followed the misadventures of Meli, Hooded Figure, and Marshal, with no ongoing story arc. Characters such as Maddie, Katie and Sue were meant to only play minor roles, and the episodes would have been 5-7 minutes in length. However, the series was cancelled in July 2017, only 3 months after its announcement.

However, due to booming support for the series, Meli didn't want to drop it entirely; and after months of planning, the series was greenlit as a WOMOM, and production began.

The announcement video revealed some major production art, and the main cast. A week later, during a live Big Meli Update presentation, a whole segment was pushed onto the movie, revealing the premise, title, audition info, and voice cast.

The script was completed on November 13, 2017. An animatic of the film is scheduled for completion by March 2018, when dialogue will be recorded.
