\n\t\u201cAnimal Friends<\/a>,\u201d the live action-animated hybrid film from Warner Bros, has moved from a planned June 5 release to Jan. 22, 2027, the studio announced Friday. Ryan Reynolds<\/a> voices Pony while Jason Momoa<\/a> voices Bear in the story of two fugitive animals. <\/p>\n

\n\tPeter Atencio directs the adult-targeted road trip adventure that co-stars Aubrey Plaza as a DEA agent, Addison Rae, Dan Levy as a Fish and Wildlife ranger, Lil Rey Howery as the voice of a bird and Ellie Bamber. <\/p>\n

\n\tPony has been described as a tiny narcissist, while the large Bear is conflict-averse. They head out on an adventure across America to find the ranch they once lived on while being pursued by an equally odd couple DEA agent and Fish & Wildlife ranger. <\/p>\n

\n\tKevin Burrows and Matt Mider wrote the screenplay for Legendary, Maximum Effort and Prime Focus Studios.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnimal Friends\u201d has been hopping around the schedule like a fluffle of rabbits. First set for Aug. 15, 2025 through Columbia, it moved to Warner Bros. after Legendary\u2019s distribution deal with Sony ended. Warners skedded the hybrid film for Oct. 10, then May 1 and June 5. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe June 5 date vacated by \u201cAnimal Friends\u201d still has several other releases planned, including \u201cMasters of the Universe\u201d from Amazon\/MGM, Nick Jonas and Paul Rudd starring in Lionsgate\u2019s \u201cPower Ballad\u201d and \u201cScary Movie\u201d from Paramount\/Miramax.<\/p>\n

\n\tReynolds has action comedy \u201cMayday\u201d coming out in September, while Momoa starred in \u201cThe Wrecking Crew\u201d in January and has both \u201cStreet Fighter\u201d and \u201cDune: Part Three\u201d set for later in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cAnimal Friends,\u201d the live action-animated hybrid film from Warner Bros, has moved from a planned June 5 release…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":549630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[130050,88,21855,206,8985],"class_list":{"0":"post-549629","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-animal-friends","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-jason-momoa","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-ryan-reynolds"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/549630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
