Netflix has confirmed its original film slate for 2022, which will be by far its
most notable year for animated features yet.

The slate includes five self-produced features from the U.S. and Europe, which
we previously included in our preview of studio features in 2022. All are
directed by acclaimed filmmakers in animation — Nora Twomey (The Breadwinner),
Chris Williams (Big Hero 6), Henry Selick (Coraline) — or auteurs chiefly known
for their live-action works: Richard Linklater and Guillermo del Toro.

Netflix has also confirmed the release of three original anime films, including
Bubbles, which is premiering this month at the Berlinale. Bubbles is the only
animated film on the slate to currently have a firm release date: April 28.



Absent from this list are third-party acquisitions and partner-produced films,
including anticipated projects like Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
The Movie, a Nickelodeon-produced spin-off from the series. The film was
initially slated for 2021, and sources later told us it was due this year.

There will almost certainly be some surprises too. After all, the streamer
picked up its most high-profile animated film of 2021, Sony’s The Mitchells vs.
the Machines, after it issued last year’s slate.

For now, here’s the original films that subscribers can look forward to in the
next 11 months …

APOLLO 10 ½: A SPACE AGE CHILDHOOD

Director: Richard Linklater

> Synopsis: Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood tells the story of the first moon
> landing in the summer of 1969 from two interwoven perspectives — the astronaut
> and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and through the eyes of a
> kid growing up in Houston, Texas who has intergalactic dreams of his own.
> Taking inspiration from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Richard Linklater’s
> own life, Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood is a snapshot of American life in
> the 1960s that is part coming of age, part societal commentary, and part
> out-of-this-world adventure.

> reckless move one day and plummets into the gravity-bending sea. His life is

> place holds a lot of memories. While playing, they suddenly get caught up in a
> mysterious phenomenon and when they regain consciousness, they see an entire
> ocean before them as the housing complex has drifted into a mysterious sea
> along with Kosuke and Natsume with it. Will they be able to return to their
> previous world? A summer farewell journey begins.

> Holland. But when young Maisie Brumble stows away on his fabled ship, he’s
> saddled with an unexpected ally. Together they embark on an epic journey into
> uncharted waters and make history. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Chris

> ends, and the true adventure begins.

> will feature an original story by Suzuki. Split into two parts, the story will
> follow Tristan, the son of The Seven Deadly Sins protagonists Meliodas and
> Elizabeth. Tristan inherits the power of the Goddess Clan and can heal
> people’s wounds and injuries, but he often ends up hurting others due to his
> inability to control his Demon Clan power. To protect his family, Tristan
> heads to Edinburgh Castle and meets a host of new friends along the way.

WENDELL & WILD

Director: Henry Selick

> Synopsis: From the delightfully wicked minds of Henry Selick and Jordan Peele
> comes Wendell & Wild, an animated tale about scheming demon brothers Wendell
> (Keegan-Michael Key) and Wild (Peele), who enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat
> Elliot — a tough teen with a load of guilt — to summon them to the Land of the
> Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and
> comedic adventure like no other, an animated fantasy that defies the law of
> life and death, all told through the handmade artistry of stop motion.
