This is the star-studded voice cast of Swapped on Netflix, who are set to bring the story of wildlife creatures to life. 

The animated movie, Swapped, follows a tiny woodland creature, Ollie, and a bird, Ivy, who are natural enemies in the Valley. However, their sweet and peaceful lives flip overnight after a body-swap mishap. Now stuck in each other’s bodies, they are forced to team up, deal with all the dangers of the ecosystem, and survive this bizarre journey.

As the characters deal with the unknown, the film promises to balance tension with heart in unexpected ways. While speaking about the movie to Tudum, director Nathan Greno explained that their creative team took inspiration from the live-action documentaries to understand the wild ecosystem. Later, he also praised the voice cast, including Oscar-winning actor Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple, for their performance in the movie. 

“Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple brought such warmth and authenticity to the film. Every moment between them feels alive — funny one second, deeply moving the next. Their chemistry lifts the story and gives Swapped its wings,” he said.

While the cast and story were already revealed by the streaming giant, there was initially some uncertainty around the release date, which has now finally been confirmed

Swapped on Netflix is all set to release on May 1, 2026. The PG-rated film runs for 1 hour and 42 minutes. Coming from Netflix and Skydance Animation, the script is written by John Whittington, Christian Magalhães, and Robert Snow.  

John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews serve as producers for the animated project. Directed by Nathan Greno, who previously helmed Tangled, and backed by a star-studded cast, expectations for the movie are understandably high. Now, all that is left for now is to see if Swapped can live up to its promise of humor and adventure when it finally arrives on Netflix.
