Skydance Animation and Netflix have released the official trailer and new artwork for Swapped (FKA Pookoo), a body-switch buddy comedy directed by Nathan Greno, set to debut May 1.<\/p>\n
The film pairs an unlikely duo: a small woodland creature and a majestic bird, natural enemies within their shared ecosystem, who are suddenly forced to see life from each other\u2019s perspective. Literally.<\/p>\n

The trailer leans heavily into physical comedy and visual contrast, playing up the absurdity of each character adapting to new anatomical limitations while hinting at a broader emotional arc centered on empathy and coexistence.<\/p>\n
Produced by John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews, Swapped continues Skydance Animation\u2019s push into high-concept, family-oriented storytelling. The screenplay is by John Whittington alongside Christian Magalhaes and Robert Snow, with a score by Siddhartha Khosla.<\/p>\n
Whether Swapped can break through a crowded streaming ecosystem without theatrical buzz, and in the wake of another animal-starring body-swap comedy \u2013 Pixar\u2019s Hoppers \u2013 remains to be seen. Still, it will be one of the biggest tests yet of the Netflix-Skydance partnership, ahead of Ray Gunn from The Incredibles and The Iron Giant director Brad Bird later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Skydance Animation and Netflix have released the official trailer and new artwork for Swapped (FKA Pookoo), a body-switch…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,270],"class_list":{"0":"post-380908","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
