Introduction

Netflix and Skydance Animation are teaming up for a high-flying, furry-feathery animated spectacle as Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple officially join the cast of Swapped. The project marks a major return to feature animation for Tangled director Nathan Greno, and it’s already shaping up to be one of Netflix’s most exciting upcoming family films.


A Body-Swap Buddy Comedy in the Wild

Swapped tells the story of a small woodland creature (voiced by Michael B. Jordan) and a majestic bird (voiced by Juno Temple), two natural enemies of The Valley who suddenly switch bodies. Forced to cooperate while trapped in each other’s feathers and fur, the unlikely duo embark on the most chaotic—and heartfelt—adventure of their lives.

The script is written by John Whittington, Christian Magalhaes, and Robert Snow, based on a story by Whittington, Adam Karp, Magalhaes, Snow, and director Nathan Greno.

Nathan Greno Promises Humor, Emotion, and Stunning Worldbuilding

Greno describes Swapped as an “unpredictable, emotional ride — full of humor, spectacle, and heart.” Inspired partly by live-action nature documentaries, the director aimed to capture the vibrancy and complexity of wild ecosystems while grounding the narrative in deeply human themes.

He praised Jordan and Temple for bringing “warmth and authenticity” to the characters, noting that their chemistry shifts seamlessly from comedic to emotional and gives the film “its wings.”

A Strong Production Team Behind the Scenes

Swapped boasts an impressive roster of producers:

  • John Lasseter

  • David Ellison

  • Dana Goldberg

  • Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews

With Skydance Animation and Netflix partnering on the project, expectations are high for a visually striking film with broad family appeal.

Conclusion

With powerhouse vocal leads Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple, direction from the filmmaker behind Tangled, and a heartfelt, comedic adventure at its core, Swapped is primed to be one of Netflix’s headline animated releases. As the body-swap duo navigate their wild new reality, audiences can expect humor, emotion, and spectacular worldbuilding when the film eventually takes flight.
