Editor’s note: Our short take on Orion and the Dark (2024): Firmly a Animation, Family, Comedy, Fantasy piece, but with a personal touch. With Sean Charmatz at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Performances (especially Jacob Tremblay, Paul Walter Hauser, Angela Bassett) give the story human stakes. Clocking in at 1h 30m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. Reception is decent overall; not a game-changer, but hardly disposable. Its tagline — “Hello Darkness, my new friend.” — actually reflects the film’s intent. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
