Oscar-winning ‘Big Hero 6’ director signs overall deal with the streamer that includes both a follow-up to his 2022 seafaring tale, the streamer’s most successful animated feature ever, and an original fantasy in the vein of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Princess Bride.’
Creators of the new CG-animated tale, including Oscar winner Chris Williams, talk about how a commitment to visual realism and nuanced storytelling helped shape their epic, seafaring tale, now screening in selected theaters and streaming on Netflix.

Animation supervisor Joshua Beveridge discusses bird wings, wolf packs, cutesy babies and pliable characters in Warner Bros and Sony Pictures Imageworks’ new animated family adventure.
