Summary
Netflix animation is having another monster year, with Nathan Greno’s body-swap comedy “Swapped” racing up the platform’s all-time rankings behind “KPop Demon Hunters.” Jim Hill and Drew Taylor also examine Disney’s uncertain live-action remake strategy, the return of “Hotel Transylvania” and a new theatrical Looney Tunes short. Plus, Drew shares highlights from his conversation with Greno about the making of Netflix’s latest animated hit. HIGHLIGHTS • “The Odyssey” dominates the worldwide box office while Disney’s live-action “Moana” suffers a steep second-weekend decline. • Disney moves ahead with “Tangled” and a possible continuation of “The Princess and the Frog” despite uneven remake results. • “Toy Story 5” approaches the billion-dollar mark as “Minions & Monsters” falls short of franchise expectations. • Sony and Amazon MGM prepare “The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania” for a theatrical release in 2027. • Disney Junior tests a YouTube-first launch strategy with the new animated preschool series “Ozzy Fox.” • Director Nathan Greno discusses the creation and unexpected streaming success of “Swapped.” • “Daffy Season” brings the Looney Tunes back to theaters with a modern spin on the classic rabbit-season-versus-duck-season routine. • Titmouse joins Meow Wolf’s upcoming Los Angeles exhibition as an animation and creative-design partner.
