The news comes a week after Netflix scaled back its own in-house animation division.
On the heels of Netflix trimming its own animation division in favor of bringing in third-party content—as reported by Variety on October 11—we now know one of the new sources joining the fold: Skydance Animation, which was previously partnered with Apple TV+ and released Luck on the streamer in 2022.
As the Hollywood Reporter notes, this new alliance with Netflix is “multiyear” and covers both the development and production of animated films; it makes Netflix the new release home for 2024's Spellbound—starring the voices of Rachel Zegler, Nicole Kidman, and Javier Bardem with music by Disney veteran Alan Menkin—which was originally supposed to be an Apple TV+ release.
