Paul McCartney “blown away” by Celine Dion’s work in ‘High In The Clouds’ adaptation: “What a talent”

NME · 2 hours ago

Paul McCartney has expressed enthusiasm about Celine Dion's contributions to the animated film adaptation of his children's book "High In The Clouds", describing himself as "blown away" by her work. The musician shared photographs from the recording studio and praised Dion's talent, noting that her involvement follows her recent comeback performances in Paris. The project, which has been in development for over a decade, represents a significant milestone in bringing McCartney's 2005 book to the screen.

The film adaptation features an ensemble cast including Hannah Waddingham, Idris Elba, Lionel Richie, Jimmy Fallon, Himesh Patel, and McCartney's former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr, directed by Tony Genkel. The story follows a teenage squirrel named Wirral who battles to restore music after an owl named Gretsch bans it. McCartney has previously recorded an original song for the project with Lady Gaga in 2015, and the film is expected to include music composed alongside these notable artists.
