It is the only animated feature film produced by Morgan Creek Productions, Inc. Loosely based on Rodgers and Hammerstein's 1951 stage musical of the same name, it portrays a fictionalized account of English school teacher Anna Leonowens' historical encounter with king Mongkut of Siam and the royal court. The voice cast stars Miranda Richardson and Martin Vidnovic as Leonowens and Mongkut, respectively, with Ian Richardson, Darrell Hammond, Allen D. Hong, Armi Arabe, and Adam Wylie. The score, songs, and some of the character names come from the stage musical. Screenwriters Peter Bakalian, Jacqueline Feather, and David Seidler took creative liberties with the history and with the source material from the musical in an attempt to make the film palatable to all audiences. ## Credits - **Director:** [Richard Rich](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-rich) - **Screenplay:** [David Seidler](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-seidler) - **Original Music Composer:** [Richard Rodgers](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-rodgers) - **Producer:** [James G.
