In recent years, streaming platforms have made a name for themselves by releasing their own original products. One of the most popular services is Netflix, and every month the platform makes new movies and shows to keep the fans happy, and this February was also good on different premieres.
On February 2, the platform released its brand new original animated movie called Orion and the Dark. Since its premiere, the movie has been in Netflix's top 10, and it doesn't look like it's going to leave the charts anytime soon.
It's a fascinating fantasy story about an 11-year-old boy named Orion, whose life seems to be just too hard for him because of the many fears he has. The boy even has a special notebook in which he writes down everything he is afraid of.
These include bees, his classmate Richie Panici, talking to the cutest girl Sally, clogging the toilet, and many other things. But there's one thing in particular that keeps him awake at night, screaming in agony, and that's... the dark.
One night, a huge, smiling creature entered his room and introduced himself as Dark. It was hard for Orion to embrace him, but the Dark promised the boy that if they spent just one night together on a journey, Orion would forget all his fears.
Despite the harsh premise, the cartoon is a perfect family movie, and you should be prepared to get too emotional from time to time, as the movie has some truly dramatic moments.
“As someone who also had a lot of fears, social interactions and like this movie fear of the dark. They made an accurate representation for me with these fears and the thoughts that come with them. The first part of the movie was the best and the entities were amazing. A fun and good way to explain the night stuff,” Redditor djochogamer said.
