What do you get when you cross a *Tangled* director, Michael B. Jordan voicing the tiniest creature in the forest, a nature documentary aesthetic, and a body-swap comedy unlike any other? You get *Swapped* — Skydance Animation’s most anticipated project yet, and it’s landing exclusively on Netflix on **May 1, 2026**. Just confirmed, star-studded, and looking genuinely brilliant.

## What Is *Swapped* Actually About?

Forget what you think you know about body-swap movies. *Swapped* is a buddy comedy about a small woodland creature voiced by Michael B. Jordan and a majestic bird voiced by Juno Temple — natural sworn enemies of The Valley — who suddenly swap bodies and must team up, walking in each other’s feathers and fur, to survive the wildest adventure of their lives.

Director Nathan Greno — who helmed *Tangled* — described the world they built as existing on a wild spectrum between plant and animal, with creatures forming a bizarre, vibrant ecosystem. At the centre is the smallest creature in the valley who suddenly finds himself in a completely different body, thrust into a massive unpredictable world that turns his entire life upside down.
