The Lunar Chronicles is an upcoming animated science-fiction fantasy film produced by Locksmith Animation and Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Based on the novel series of the same name by Marissa Meyer, it is an international co-production between the United States and the United Kingdom. It is directed by Noëlle Raffaele, produced by Christina Steinberg and written by Kalen Egan and Travis Sentell. The story is set in a futuristic world inhabited by various species and creatures, and centers on four young women who launch a rebellion against the tyrannical Queen of the Moon and soar through the stars while fighting to take charge of their own destinies.

Meyer said that the film and TV rights for The Lunar Chronicles have been optioned and a script is in the works by NBCUniversal with Universal Pictures distribution, but the project did not come to fruition. In January 2022, Locksmith acquired the film rights, and Raffaele was confirmed as director in June 2023 while Egan and Sentell were reported to be writing the film's script. Warner Bros. was also announced to be distributing.
