Here’s the logline, “A buddy comedy about a small woodland creature (voiced by Academy Award-winning Michael B. Jordan) and a majestic bird (voiced by Juno Temple) — natural sworn enemies of The Valley — who suddenly swap bodies and must team up (while walking in each other’s feathers and fur) to survive the wildest adventure of their lives.”
Previously, the movie was known as Pookoo. It’s a collaboration between Netflix and Skydance Animation.
“Swapped is a body swap movie unlike anything audiences have seen before,” says director Nathan Greno to Tudum. “In this world, the creatures of the valley exist on a spectrum between plant and animal, creating a wild ecosystem. At the center of the film is the smallest creature in the valley, voiced by Michael B. Jordan, who suddenly finds himself swapped into a completely different body and thrust into a massive, unpredictable world that turns his entire life upside down and forces him to experience life from a completely different perspective.”
The film will begin streaming on Netflix on May 1.
