Netflix and Skydance Animation have teamed up to bring a series of animated films to the streaming platform. This collaboration comes after Skydance Animation's previous exclusive partnership with Apple TV+. Notable figures in this venture include John Lasseter, formerly of Disney Pixar, and Holly Edwards, President of Skydance Animation.
According to analyst Emily Horgan, the move from Apple to Netflix signifies a strategic decision, with Lasseter hoping for wider audience reach and potential marketing support.
