Orion and the Dark | Official Trailer | Netflix
/ @netflix
I was expecting more of a godly deep voice for Dark, but I can see potential in this.
He's meant to be comical and friendly, so, giving him a cuddly voice is more fitting for his personality.
I can relate to this kid. One of the things that did scare me growing up was being the cause of a team losing when it came to certain activities, a few of my bullies, and I had a small phobia of the dark. But one of the Primal fears that mankind has is the dark and Fire
woman that my fear is they look nice but have acid in their souls
@@orlandobritt1460 I know exactly what you're talking about
I always love seeing Jacob Tremblay films, he's got so many high profile films, half of them other voice acting roles
Honestly I could see him as Link for the upcoming live action Zelda movie especially if they want someone young enough to continue playing the role.
@@zillauniverse7208 woah! Never thought of that, he'd work more for young Link if anything
I watched Luca and My Father's Dragon; great movies, great roles that Jake has played. Honestly, I expected his voice in this movie to sound a bit different. But no; it's as if he recorded his lines for this movie years early on in production, simultaneously doing so with Luca and My Father's Dragon, which is why it's so similar.
@@mrflipperinvader7922 IMDb said it's rumored he'll play Link on an in development The Legend of Zelda, just not sure if it's voice or live action
@@oldchannel_MoM I don't see that rumor anymore
I like the direction they're going with this I can see light as a sort of antagonist as something that shields you from your fears but doesn't help you overcome them
Yes, I was thinking about that too. It would be great if that happened! It'll actually add more character development to the story and make it really interesting. I HOPE they do that.
It goes well beyond that simple interpretation. Light is an entity enslaved to balance and ultimately encapsulates everything in it which is just too much. The Dark is where there is quiet, the brilliance of light, poetry. It's like sadness from Inside Out - it's how you feel heartbreak with true depth of feeling that makes you alive. And it's touching that, in the end, Dark has to emerge from the memories of Orion who very much made it a point to remember it.
@@imfa-cinema257 well thank you, I like that idea
They better (at the very least) do a limited run in cinemas for this, Adaptation is one of my favorite films of all time, and I am beyond curious to see how Kaufman tackles a children’s movie!
I don't about where you stay but here I've seen that movies go in cinema even though they had no theathrical release in us, things like the Pinocchio remake 🤮🤮🤮and Turning Red that was really popular and stayed for weeks
The fact that it was directed by Sean charmatz who worked with SpongeBob and written by Charlie Kaufman is insane
This movie is 10/10
It's an adaptation of a book, not a movie.... LITERALLY called 'Orion and the Dark'
Remember everyone: this is the same writer from Synecdoche New York, Anomalisa, and i’m thinking of ending things. Haven’t watched the other two, but I liked the last one. With that said, I’m extremely curious how will Charlie Kaufmann handle this.
You're not going to bring up Eternal Sunshine or Being John Malkovich, two of his greatest pieces of work?
@@kotterpike714yes, them too, but I haven’t watched them as well.
Seeing the words “heartfelt” and “whimsical” is kinda weird when put next to Charlie Kaufmann’s name.
@@AlbertusSalvatierraIdk… I think his films are whimsical and heartfelt. Just in a particularly twisted kinda way.
@@snowhunter7536 Oh man, you're in for a treat.
Charlie Kaufman is the reason I'm excited for this film
Yeah, the trailer looks kinda boring really. But Charlie has the chops..
From what I’m seeing here, this actually looks amazing! I’ll never understand why this movie is being released straight to streaming.
Because it's an original idea, and original ideas make less money nowadays because studios and companies don't promote them well.
Possibly it's a bit too ambitious to release it in theaters unless there's enough support to release it in theaters
you make it sound like thats a bad thing
@@antoniomalavoltaandrade2637that’s sadly most likely the case (though to be fair, it isn’t ORIGINAL original, it’s a book adaptation)
@@Mkmichael001 unless there's enough support on the film to get a theater release
“Hello darkness my old friend”
Ok so far Dark def gives the exact feeling of that one specific kind of person whose voice/personality is just so damn friendly and soothing that you can’t help but feel safe and comfortable with them. It’s a very specific vibe and he is pulling it off perfectly:)

As someone who's dealt with anxiety, panic attacks, etc from a young age due to childhood traumas I'm so happy this is out to help children dealing with these issues. I'm 44 and when I was young there was still a stigma to having mental health issues, I had family members who weren't always understanding of what I was going through so it makes me happy that children coming up now will have it easier as far as people being understanding, supportive and encouraging.
This looks awesome! I love the animation and Jacob Tremblay does a great job.
In The Little Mermaid, Jacob Tremblay was 13 years old when he voiced Flounder back in 2020.
@@jwelch5742wait the voice acting was in the middle of production in 2020
@@joshuamercado6885 Jacob Tremblay says he recorded his part of Flounder right before the pandemic.
@@jwelch5742oh ok
@@jwelch5742How old was he when he voiced Luca?
Put this in theaters, please!
My son Orion...is going to love this (as he loves the book)
My son’s name is Orion but he’s only a year old lol I’m sure he’ll love it too though
@@F150fx2sporT Well speaking as someone who's mom named her son Orion 20 Years ago, it is weird, haha
@@orionrenaissance9222 hmm maybe she named you after the Metallica song Orion haha
I'd be careful watching this show with your kids ❤ if you do I would skip all parts that involve the entity "sleep". Lots of inappropriate script and scenes that I can only chalk up to possibly "adult humor".
@noelleziegler4807 not true.
THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN ON THE BIG SCREEN! IT NEEDS TO BE IN THEATERS AH!
I do mental health counseling and I think this film has a lot of potential as a therapy resource! Excited to see how things are approached with these ideas of ERP (exposure response therapy).
How so while teaching our kids it’s ok to smother people with pillows or knocking people out with chlorophyll and or the part where that baby was getting knocked out with a hammer? If you truly believe that’s suitable for children your the problem with society.
To be honest, I relate to Orion since I'm afraid of some things too. Idk if this movie can change my mind, but imma give it a watch.
I feel the same! Especially I have autism
This movie looks so AMAZING!!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT!!!!
Oh my goodness Dreamworks did a phenomenal job and very marvelous job on this movie because this looks so adorable and very cute,creative and very unique orion and the dark is one of my all time favorite books growing up the aesthetic looks so beautifully creative the voice acting on this movie is just so good and awesome and most of all the animation looks so beautiful and very colorful I've can't wait to see it on Netflix next year!!!
Just remember ... this is Directed by CHARLIE KAUFMAN. His films include Synecdoche, New York and I'm Thinking of Ending Things. His characters are often depressed, suicidal, and existentially confused. Chances are Orion in this film is also dealing with existential fear and depression which is both metaphorically embodied by (or treated by) the Dark. Something tells me it will be an intellectually satisfying existential thinkpiece for Kids similar to films like Coco and Inside Out but even more mature and honest. Charlie Kaufman doesn't write trash nor does he sell out. His films are the highest cinematic art.
Technically it’s directed by Sean charmats but it’s written by Charlie Kaufman also I might have seen this book in the library before
From the trailer, it looks different than Charlie Kaufman’s script. CKs script is much better.
@@sometastudios Then Kaufman would have exited earlier without having a writer's credit. That's who he is - truthful - I guarantee his script is preserved and the film is FAR deeper than the marketing would make one expect. Mark my words.
@@imfa-cinema257a lot of the dialogue is different. The premise seems different. The age and tone of the main character is different. I too am interested to check it out. But I’ve read his script at least 5 times. It’s that good.
I missed the part where that's my problem.
I'm so excited for this movie!
I'm actually looking forward to seeing this movie because it looks absolutely amazing
This is a really creative and cute premise. nice to see something original for a change.
It’s based on a book so not exactly “original”
Nice to see Darkness from "Pajama Sam" making a comeback.
Just seen the movie and I liked it. I liked the aspect of the father daughter relationship, story telling as a tradition, inclusion by letting the daughter add to the story, and building a legacy by spending time with their children and passing down the legacy to future generations. Great story plus having a two parent home. Loved it.
I DUNNO WHY BUT IM SOO HYPED UP ABOUT THIS MOVIE
"you're not afraid of the dark, you're afraid of whats hiding in it" -my mom
YES!!! A trailer and release date! I’m hyped for this movie alongside KFP4! DreamWorks still nailing it in the book adaptation genre!🌟 EDIT: this movie was Really good! Better than the book. A great start to DreamWorks’ 30th anniversary! To anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, go check it out!
I think Kung Fu Panda 4 is gonna get delayed due to no details since April and no trailer since it released in 4 months
@@ericlalicker8636unless they unexpectedly release the trailer for KFP4 next week
@@ericlalicker8636yeah probably. But still: hyped for these movies!😁
@@silashurd3597 Me too
I can't wait for Kung Fu Panda 4
Just Finished It. Easily one of the best existential animated films for kid. Not surprised considering its Charlie Kaufman
Its trash.
@@daddy4878 Your family is trash.
THE VOICE ACTING IS AMAZING HOLY THIS IS AWSOME
thought the opposite.
This movie is awesome for those who are awake to life. So many hidden messages. The overall story was so enlightening and eye opening. Made me think about life alot. Will definitely watch again...😢
omg it looks amazing! im excited to see how it turns out, also also, Dark's character seems so so good i'll sure as hell hyperfixate on him omce the movie releases
Dark seems like a nicer version of Grunkle Stan and I'm totally here for it
This movie even has an art style similar to Gravity Falls but CGI-animated.
@@excaliburn3d Yeah i see your point very similar
Orion And The Dark is like Rise Of The Guardians!
Looks awesome! Would be great if this was in theaters - so few good family films to attend lately.
About time Pajama Sam had a movie! 😏
From watching this movie, I've learned that we have the power to make fear the reason for doing something or not. It doesn't have to be. That's true courage.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken should've been a DreamWorks/Netflix original film instead of going into theaters to avoid bad marketing, but I'm looking forward to this.
Uh Huh. From Animated Series From: My Life As A Teenage Kraken.
I’m so excited a new dreamworks movie on Netflix 😊
This reminds me of "Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside".
This was such a beautiful movie, completely blown away on how much I loved it. And to think we watched this on a whim.
For people who experience anxiety disorders….this was such a whimsical, lighthearted HEALING movie. LOVE.
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I HAD WATCHED IN A WHILE ❤️ THIS MOVIE IS A GEM 💎
I really hope Light isn't 100% the bad guy. Super tired of seeing stories like "What if light/things traditionally seen as good are BAD???" with really nothing more than that thought. If they treat it more like the Pixar short night/day that would be better. They both have their pros and cons. I see why Darkness would feel inferior that makes sense for his character arc & would mirror well with the kid, Orion. If he learned to overcome that and to appreciate himself and what light has that would be a better character arc. Here's to hoping though, it's just a trailer.
Sounds like somebody hasn't read the book that this movie's based on yet since Light's probably in it lol.
It's written by Charlie Kaufman, it'll be interesting trust me
Tbh I miss villains, I've had enough generational trauma and stuff
@@bdariamihaela Ok tradition elitist lol.
@paramountnickelodeonenjoyer02 Whether it's an adaption or not is irrelevant, they can change things as they see fit. (EX. The how to train your dragon series. It's technically an adaption but besides the premise it's very much it's own story) I'm only making assumptions on the trailer, I'll give it a chance first. However, if they go that route, I think it'll hurt the overall story. I hope I'm wrong
Looks awesome! Anyone else reminded of Pajama Sam in "No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside"?
This kind of looks like it’s already an iconic dreamworks movie wheather it’s in theaters or not huh?!
Disney: dying Netflix: more alive than ever
Netflix is on fire releasing great animation series and movies!
This deserves awards. I think the trailer alone shows that we know what we're getting. It depicts everything before hand. SO WE KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. 10/10 It's a work of art compared to what disney throws up.
I'm not sure about work of art part but this movie does look passable to me.
So excited for another Jacob Tremblay flick!
Ngl, the ending had me in tears Life!!
The way he speak japanese is just so cool! I love orion and the dark movie! ❤
I love this movie idea. The dark being a good guy and the light being a bad guy? Now that’s irony. That’s what makes the movie more exciting!!! I’m sure in the end Orion will not be afraid of the dark anymore, he and dark will become best friends and he will enjoy life. That’s my prediction anyway.
That's quite similar how in "Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken", they turn the Krakens Good and the Mermaids Evil.
@@omundodovini3774 And look how that turned out
@@omundodovini3774they are both evil in Lore
DreamWorks and their AWESOME SUBVERSIONS OF EXPECTATIONS!
@@omundodovini3774 Good observation, Buddy. In Ruby Gilman: Teenage Kraken Chelsea manipulated Ruby so she gets her revenge on Krakens. While Dark is just trying to get Orion to face his fears, so he can enjoy his life. I’m telling you Dark is not the villain, Light is.
Pittsburgh Skyline in an animated film! FINALLY! I can't wait to see this movie.
This is cool. Can't wait till this becomes available on February.
Been on my watchlist for weeks now. Bout time I watch this. Love the trailer.
What a classic movie...not only for children's, it's must watch for adult also🎉🎉🎉❤
This is based on the book Orion and the Dark by Emma Yarlett it's brilliant our kids love it!🎉
I think it's saurabh shukla (dark) voice.😍😍
I’m interested to see their take on the book :) it’s one of my faves!
love this film 8.9/10 I wanted more.
I think this is going to be a great movie. Like it'll have a ton of heart in it. Like it won't be a cash grab. Like it will change my life. Update: I watched the movie as soon as it was released and I loved it.
I just got done watching the film and I’m already waiting for a sequel
This is based on the fantastic award winning book Orion and the Dark by Emma Yarlett, I’m so flipping excited!
This looks cute, yet imaginative.
I was there when Emma Yarlett published her book in 2014. I'll be there in 2024 for the release of the Charlie Kaufman movie adaptation! ⚫
2:01 I'M SCREAMING INSIDE, I llve him 😭💖
I can’t wait till Orion and the dark comes out
Can't wait to watch this film
Just Watched it, Amazing, So Deep.
Amazing muvie .. Seeing this, I used to feel a little afraid of darkness, that too seems to be over now.
Nika: it’s been so good for us. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I Love Every DreamWorks Movie That Has Come Out!
I think after watching this trailer I’m already excited for it weird huh?!
Can't wait for Orion and the Dark 2 with the shot focusing on Sleep
I see a lot of resemblance with the rise of the guardians with this movie Hope its an inspiration.
Technically it's based on the book with the same name which I planned on reading soon before I see the movie but true.
This is amazing AF! they need to launch this in theaters instead of streaming!
This movie was lovely and amazing 👏. Watching it at 'Dark' makes it so much better😊
😊
OMG I watched it and love this movie so much ❤
Trailer 2 Please!
Incredible! This film is a must-watch for all kids. It's truly outstanding.
I am so watching this movie because my name is Orion
Orion was 10 years old in this movie on November 2010
This looks cute! Will definitely give it a watch!
Thank You!!
Put this in theaters, Damn it!
Beautiful movie ❤
1. Orion (named after the constellation) ironically curious about the dark 2. film reminding me of "Monsters, Inc.", "Monsters University & "Inside out," but dealing with night entities instead
This movie's story like a middle class boy's life 😢❤
This looks really good. DreamWorks better not mess this up
I hope not either. Not after Ruby Gillman. I did expect more from that one. Hopefully this and Trolls Band Together will be a rebound.
@@manuelorozco7760well I did like ruby gillman
@@calebprescott440 Thats ok. But at least the animation, lighthearted tone, messages and characters made it decent
When it comes to the book adaptation genre, they usually do great
@@silashurd3597They didn't do so good with Home though
I can't wait to see this
Anybody here because they are interested in Charlie Kauffman doing a kid's movie?
Just watched it and Im lost for words.....beautifully written, excellent concept, astonishing visuals, complex and heartwarming, if this is where animation is going in the future then our kids truly have hope, Im 42 and grew up with the likes of Tom & Jerry, Flintstones, Lady & The Tramp, The Looney Tunes, Oliver And Company, Meet The Robinsons, Bullwinke & Rocky, and just about everything in between, and this experience was like the Dark bringing in a new Light of remembering how creative and spontaneous, loving and touching, friendly and accepting, kids and adults can be'. I love this film and highly recommend it. '⭐⭐⭐⭐'
Nika: That movie is so good my favourite that animated one. Include for a character: Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Mordecai and Rigby. All that is your favourite characters in the show. But upcoming movie on Netflix in 2 Feburary. It's going to famous done!
Really interesting. I can't wait to see it!
Can’t believe that Orion is played by the same actor as Luca. Did he go through puberty? I noticed his voice sounds different.
Yes, yes he did.
Heck yeah!!
Nika: Thanks for your help in getting me back into my routine again. I’m so happy that you’re here with us now because everything is so exciting to movie. Orion and the Dark on Netflix in 2 February. Thanks to everyone. Netflix. I’m sure they are all doing good time! Everybody was very nice to us! ❤❤❤
Darkness came here to show that not all Darkness are scary and evil.
There should be more movies like this. Like cute yet fierce looking shadow creatures.
I watch this before i like it because it teaches me not to be sad of the dark because I just to put the covers over my head now I don't by😊❤
