The American streaming platform has not done things halfway to prove its dynamism in the field of animation in all its forms and for all audiences.

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio

, slated for release later this year, was certainly one of the most promising projects on offer, but it really wasn't the only one.

Great filmmakers on the platform

Henry Selick, director of

The Nightmare Before Christmas

and

Coraline

, will be back with

Wendell and Wild

, produced in stop motion (frame-by-frame puppet animation which he specializes in).

This story of two devils for which he collaborates with Jordan Peele (

Us

) was made “with love and with the hands” he specified.

David Fincher, who is making his debut in animation, presented a segment of the

Love, Death and Robots

series, of which he signs the

Bad Traveling

segment on sailors confronted with a giant crab.

“I love the idea of ​​having my actors eat giant monsters,” he joked.

Guillermo Del Toro (him again) also wowed festival-goers with the first images of his

Pinocchio

(also in stop motion) a very imaginative version of the tale for which he admits to having been inspired by his relationship with his father and wanting to talk about importance of disobeying.

The

EnterGalactic

series , defined by its authors as "When Harry met modern Sammy, a love story between blacks that does not happen in pain" has given a lot of desire thanks to the excerpts presented by the rapper Kid Cudi, instigator of the project.
