Fans shouldnt hold their breath for the return of Cristina Yang on Greys Anatomy.

Sandra Oh tells ET Canada shes not likely to reprise her role on the long-running medical drama anytime soon.

Im extremely grateful that youre asking me that question because if that means that people are still invested and interested in Cristina Yang, a character who I left six years agothen Im really grateful for it, she says, ruling out the reappearance of Dr. Yang in the eventual series finale. There are so many new projects and Im a different person so Id have to say no.'

One of those new projects shes, well, over the moon about is the upcoming Netflix animated feature film Over The Moon.

The movie tells the story of a young Chinese girl who builds a rocket in an attempt to meet a mythical moon goddess. Oh voices one of the films characters, alongside a voice cast that includes Ken Jeong, Kimiko Glenn, John Cho, Margaret Cho, Phillipa Soo and Ruthie Ann Miles.

For the Canadian actress, getting to be a part of a story that focuses on a young girl interested in science and technology was part of the allure.

Im so happy to see this in numerous animated films. That the idea of what it is to be a girl is changing, she tells ET Canada. You know one of the ways that youre going to figure out how to solve your problems is not relying on some boy. Its like youre going to rely on yourself.

You know being a performer its like this deep its almost like sense of purpose youre able to feel a fundamental energy which is connection but I did not realize that it would most be in television, she says, adding that her relationship with television has reached the widest audience possible.

Over The Moon arrives on Netflix on Oct. 23.
