Formerly called ‘Pookoo,’ the Skydance Animation buddy comedy, directed by Nathan Greno (‘Tangled’), follows a woodland creature and a majestic bird who swap bodies and must team up to survive; hits Netflix in 2026.
Netflix has announced that Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple have joined the voice cast of Skydance Animation’s upcoming animated feature Swapped, which is set to release in 2026.
Swapped, formerly known as Pookoo, is a buddy comedy about a small woodland creature (Jordan) and a majestic bird (Temple) who swap bodies and must team up to survive the wildest adventure of their lives.
Nathan Greno (Tangled) directs the film from a script by John Whittington, Christian Magalhaes, and Robert Snow, based on a story by Whittington, Adam Karp, Magalhaes & Robert Snow, and Greno.
“Swapped is an unpredictable, emotional ride — full of humor, spectacle, and heart,” said Greno. “We drew from live-action nature documentaries, exploring the complexity of a wild ecosystem to capture something that feels vibrant and deeply human. Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple brought such warmth and authenticity to the film. Every moment between them feels alive — funny one second, deeply moving the next. Their chemistry lifts the story and gives Swapped its wings.”
John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews produce.
