The Spirit of Lord of the Dance heads to the screen

Acclaimed Media has been chosen by Michael Flatley, the creator of the international stage show The Spirit of Lord of the Dance, to co-produce and create a brilliantly scripted animated version of The Spirit of Lord of the Dance, targeting a global audience of all ages — or, as Michael puts it, “from 6 to 90 years old.”

The story revolves around the importance of dance in our world, told through a fantasy-land perspective.

Barry Rubery, Chairman of Acclaimed Media, said: “Michael is the undoubted king of Celtic dancing and has enthralled audiences globally for over three decades. This animated production will take The Spirit of Lord of the Dance to a new level, and we are delighted to be chosen as co-producers and creators.”
