Premise

A small woodland creature and a majestic bird, two natural sworn enemies of The Valley, magically trade places and set off on an adventure of a lifetime.[1]

Production

[edit]

In February 2018, it was announced that Nathan Greno had signed a multi-year contract with Skydance Media to write and direct an animated film provisionally titled Powerless, as well as consult on projects in development.[2] In July 2022, the film was greenlit by Apple Inc. and given the official title Pookoo.[3] In October 2023, Netflix took over the distribution rights of the film as part of a new multi-year deal with Skydance Animation.[1]

Release

Pookoo was originally intended to be released on Apple TV+, but in October 2023, Netflix took over the film's distribution rights from Apple, as part of a new multi-year deal with Skydance Animation, while setting it for a 2025 release.[1]
