After the success of Jumpers, Netflix responds with Swapped

Jumpers is a hit but Pixar’s beaver could quickly be dethroned by a small rodent and its feathered companion. Netflix has just shared the trailer for Swappedhis new animated film halfway between Freaky Friday et The Wild Robot. Michael B. Jordan, who lends his voice to the main character, presents this Skydance production which arrives on May 1 in the streaming giant’s catalog.

The story evolves around a small furry creature who finds herself trapped in the body of a bird despite herself. The two animals have come across a mystical plant and must now collaborate if they want to regain their bodily envelope. But it’s not easy when everything pushes these animals to hate each other. They still embark on the greatest adventure of their lives.

An acclaimed director at the helm

Swapped is the result of a nice catch for Skydance Media. In February 2018, the studio signed a multi-year contract with Nathan Greno. The director of Rapunzel found John Lasseter, former creative director at Pixar and Walt Disney Studio. The editor of Wreck-It RalphTim Mertens, also joined the project. These veterans of the firm with big ears are therefore eagerly awaited by fans of animated films. This is all the more true knowing that in the field, it’s make or break at Netflix.

The firm with the red N has established great partnerships with animation studios. The most successful was undoubtedly the one concluded with Sony, which gave rise to The Mitchells vs. the Machines as well as the phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters. Elsewhere, Ellian and the spell (Dreamworks) was proposed with total indifference. This was also the case for Giving you backyet broadcast shortly before the holidays in 2025. Swapped hopes to capitalize on the reputation of Nathan Greno and Michael B. Jordan to create a surprise.

Response from May 1 on Netflix to find out if this adversary Jumpers will manage to attract followers and invite themselves to the highest steps of the platform’s podium.
