A new animated fantasy comedy has just hit Netflix – and it's written by (arguably) one of the greatest screenwriters of our time.
Orion and the Dark, based on the children's book of the same name by author Emma Yarlett, is the latest animated comedy to hit the streamer. Directed by Sean Charmatz in his feature directorial debut and written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, the family-friendly flick follows an anxious elementary school kid with an intense fear of the dark. One night, the Dark pays Orion a visit and the two go on a roller coaster ride around the world to prove that there is nothing to be scared of at night.
