Romeo & Juliet: Sealed With a Kiss is a fully animated feature fantasy about two star crossed seals from warring families that fall in love against their parents' wishes. When Juliet's father gives her hand in marriage to the monstrous elephant seal Prince, Juliet must fake her death in order to be reunited with Romeo. But the plan goes afoul and becomes a desperate race against time! With the help of their friends Friar Lawrence and Kissy (the kissing fish), the day is saved and the young lovers are reunited in this wonderful retelling of the ageless tale of love and prejudice set in an undersea world.

Phil Nibbelink Productions Phil Nibbelink went to the Disney Animation program at California Institute of the Arts and started work at Disney Studios as an animator in 1978. There I animated on “The Fox and the Hound”, “The Black Cauldron”, “Basil the Great Mouse Detective”, “Oliver and Company”, and I was a directing animator in London on “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. I then went to Germany and did direction and animation on “The Magic Voyage”. From there I joined Steven Spielberg to form Amblimation in London where I directed “An American Tail: Fievel Goes West” and “We’re Back”. I moved back to L.A. and directed the animation on “Casper” and developed Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Cats”. In 1998 I started Phil Nibbelink Productions with my wife Margit Friesacher as Producer and together we made direct to video films “The Boogie Woogie Whale Sing-A-Long”, “Puss in Boots”,and “Leif Ericson: The Boy Who Discovered America”. In 2000 we decided to make the 35mm feature film “Romeo & Juliet: Sealed With A Kiss”. After completing my other projects I began working on Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss in early 2003. It was exciting as I was putting my two favorite things together, seals and Shakespeare. I figured if Bugs Bunny can do Opera...seals can do Shakespeare!
