DreamWorks' Orion and The Dark

[Daniel]

First look at their new film:

A CG family comedy written by Charlie Kaufman and based on a 2014 book by Emma Yarlett. Animator Sean Charmatz will mark his feature debut with this darkly whimsical tale about a young boy confronting his greatest terror.

That boy is Orion (voiced by Jacob Tremblay), an elementary schooler and full-time fraidy cat unnerved by heights, spooked by domestic animals, and rendered nearly catatonic by that worst plight of all – the dark. Only one night the Dark (voiced by Paul Walter Hauser) just about has enough, so he takes Orion on a nocturnal adventure to show the boy there’s nothing to fear but fear itself.

Looks and sounds promising, unfortunately it will be a Netflix exclusive.

Always up for new, original and outside the box stuff, but who does that kid remind me of!?!!?!???

[Daniel]

Dennis from Hotel Transylvania?

[Ben]

Nope, but your suggestion did nudge my brain in that kind of a direction and reminded me of Percy in Smallfoot!

I was going to say a young Jon from "Garfield"?
