Michael B. Jordan leads new animated movie 'Swapped'. How to watch
A new animated film featuring Oscar-winning actor Michael B. Jordan is set to hit streaming service Netflix's catalog.
The animated comedy "Swapped," produced by Skydance Animation, will be released on Netflix in May. The movie channels a storyline similar to "Freaky Friday," focusing on a small woodland creature and a "majestic bird" that swap bodies, "forcing them to team up to survive the wildest adventure of their lives," the film's description reads.
The woodland creature is voiced by Jordan, while the bird is voiced by Juno Temple.

In an interview with Netflix's companion site Tudum, "Swapped" director Nathan Greno described the film as "a body swap movie unlike anything audiences have seen before.”
“In this world, the creatures of the valley exist on a spectrum between plant and animal, creating a wild ecosystem," Greno told Tudum. "At the center of the film is the smallest creature in the valley, voiced by Michael B. Jordan, who suddenly finds himself swapped into a completely different body and thrust into a massive, unpredictable world that turns his entire life upside down and forces him to experience life from a completely different perspective.”
