Additionally, Remarkably Bright Creatures received positive reviews and currently has an 80% approval rating on the review-aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes after 35 reviews.

Meanwhile, Swapped is an animated movie that tells the story of Jordan’s Ollie, who is a hybrid woodland creature known as Pookoo. He must team up with a Javan (a type of bird) named Ivy (Juno Temple), despite their species being enemies, to save the home they share. Tracy Morgan also stars in the movie.
