Swapped
Directed by Nathan Greno
A small woodland creature and a majestic bird, two natural sworn enemies of the Valley, magically trade places and set off on an adventure of a lifetime to switch back. Their journey soon uncovers a greater threat—one that could endanger not only their species, but the entire valley they call home. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →people on BlueSky really need to shut up and focus on the important issues. Like how that new movie Swapped is being advertised as a body swap when it’s actually a boneless, cowardly SPECIES SWAP GRRAAAARRGH
neutral · AI labelView post →After Luck and Spellbound did unimpressive numbers on streaming (though Luck is Apple’s most viewed kids/family title) and Swapped did very well on Netflix (2nd for its animated originals behind KPDH), there are two films left in the deal: Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn and Rich Moore’s Beanstalk film.

negative · AI labelView post →After those two films, they’ll have Cosmic Motors and that unknown Don Hall film set for theaters via Paramount. So far, Skydance’s only hit is Swapped, but could mentioning it (or Ray Gunn) in the trailer truly move the needle like Sony’s GOAT mentioning KPop Demon Hunters in the marketing?

neutral · AI labelView post →I kept seeing all these posts about how much people didn't liked the new Netflix movie "Swapped". I don't get the hate. Like sure the designs were a bit basic (but really nice imo). & the story was simple? But it was nowhere near as bad as I was lead to believe! I rather enjoyed it. It was cute! :)
positive · AI labelView post →Swapped out to the Mike Walker pinhole and 150mm cone - still with X-ray film
neutral · AI labelView post →Swapped is a cute but predictable movie however, the creature designs?! omg. I love them. I think the deer are my favorite.
neutral · AI labelView post →New article on TheWrap confirmed a few things: - Cosmic Motors is far in production and could be ready for theaters in 2027, where it joins Paramount’s TMNT sequel - Nathan Greno (Swapped) has another Skydance film in pre-production - Paw Patrol 4’s in development

negative · AI labelView post →Swapped has been getting a lot of mixed reviews. Some like it, some don't. I'd be interested if it wasn't a Skydance Animation film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Skydance Animation and Netflix have released the first trailer for 'Swapped,' a body-swapping comedy from director Nathan Greno about two natural enemies forced to survive in each other’s bodies. www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film...
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s insane how big Swapped became on Netflix since it got much less advertising than Skydance’s previous animated film Spellbound (which flopped big in comparison). The fantastical woodland creature designs must be doing the heavy lifting on this one.
neutral · AI labelView post →Had a blast sketching from the movie Swapped today. I really loved the movie and the designs were so wonderful.
positive · AI labelView post →I mean, it’s bad enough that Luck and Spellbound made the WDAS films post-Encanto and pre-Zootopia 2 look like masterpieces in comparison. And I’m having questions about Swapped becoming the second most watched animated film on Netflix behind KPop Demon Hunters.
