Netflix’s Orion and The Dark is a wholly original family film, but there are a few earlier animated movies with similarly fantastical premises.

Netflix’s brand new animated fantasy movie Orion and the Dark now rockets to success as it makes its way onto the streamer’s global top 10 list.

The name of Orion and the Dark’s main character comes from Greek mythology, which makes his story hugely ironic but also more special.

Orion and the Dark follows the journey of Orion and the embodiment of Dark, in which they both learn about themselves and their role in the world.

Orion and the Dark is a fantasy adventure DreamWorks Animation movie that centers around a young boy named Orion overcoming his fear of the dark.

From its endearing animation style that blends 2D aesthetic with 3D technology to its poignant & refreshing writing, Orion and the Dark is a true joy.
