The most significant setback that _Orion and the Dark_ has is that it suffers from being a Netflix film. The humor falls flat and, while there is some creativity, the film reminds you of other cinematic endeavors it borrows from. It doesn’t help that the animation is bland. Some scenes in the film look unfinished because of a lack of natural shadows or depth in the human characters. _Orion and the Dark_ will likely be dumped onto the platform and forgotten about in a matter of weeks. **Full review:** https://bit.ly/OrionDark

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/orion-and-the-dark-review-a-story-about-accepting-our-fears/ "Orion and the Dark preserves the essence and messages of the original tale about understanding and accepting our fears as something that characterizes us as human beings. Charlie Kaufman expands the story with narrative complexities that, aside from unnecessarily confusing structural details, thematically enrich the overall film. The mix of 2D and 3D animation makes the visual experience captivating and warm, accompanied by an equally lovely score and competent vocal performances. An easy recommendation for families and children around the world." Rating: B

While I wouldn't say this animation is as good as other works of Charlie Kaufman, or anything exceptional (even when you consider that it's audience is children) it certainly was a joy to watch this movie. And I also got to appreciate the dark a little bit more after watching it.

I recommend this movie for a fun and enjoyable watch, as it has a cute and engaging storyline. While the characters may not be very memorable, the film still offers a good time. There are instances where the movie could benefit from less dialogue and more adventure, perhaps cutting down on certain cartoonish elements. This adjustment could enhance the overall experience and make it more captivating for the audience. It's a great movie for kids to watch and have a good time with, although the characters may not leave a lasting impression. Dark, in particular, stands out as a potentially memorable character, while the lead character may fade from memory over time. Despite its shortcomings, the movie is entertaining and worth watching, especially for a casual viewing session. While it may not be a film you'd revisit often, it can serve as a pleasant distraction or background entertainment during chores or other activities
