Annecy, France; Thursday, June 12, 2025 - Netflix lit up the prestigious Annecy Film Festival once again, thrilling audiences with a preview of its bold slate of highly anticipated animated movies and shows. Throughout the festival, award-winning filmmakers and creators, like Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Alex Woo, Genndy Tartakovsky and more, pulled back the curtain to reveal exclusive clips and sneak peeks of Netflix's upcoming animated slate - giving festivalgoers an early taste of the magic to come! Highlights include:
Showrunner Eric Robles teased, behind closed doors, a world exclusive of the highly anticipated Stranger Things: Tales From 85 animated series. Welcoming us back to Hawkins in the stark winter of 1985, the epic new show sees the original characters fighting new monsters and unraveling a paranormal mystery terrorizing their town. Stranger Things: Tales From 85 features a cutting-edge animation style by Flying Bark. Robles said: We're beyond excited to unveil this years-long secret project. The animated series will present a captivating new mystery, deeply rooted in the Stranger Things universe. It will propel beloved characters into an adventure that will stretch the limits of action, suspense, and horror, perfectly suited for animation.
Emmy Award-winner and first-time feature director, Alex Woo, production designer Steven Pilcher and VFX supervisor Nicola Lavender enchanted audiences with extensive footage from In Your Dreams. Woo also debuted the teaser trailer a few hours before its global debut. The film releases on Netflix on November 14. Woo said of his first Annecy experience: "I've always felt that making a film is like cooking a really special meal for your friends: you pick the best ingredients, pull out your favorite recipes, and set the table with your best china. Being at Annecy and serving up a little amuse-bouche of In Your Dreams has been such a joy-and I can't wait to share the full meal with you all soon!" NEW IMAGE
Head of Netflix Animation Studios Hannah Minghella spotlighted never before seen clips from the upcoming features slate including KPop Demon Hunters (Coming June 20 - NEW IMAGE), Phil Johnston's new animated film inspired by Roald Dahl's The Twits (coming this Fall - NEW IMAGES), and Skydance Animation's Pookoo (coming in 2026 - NEW IMAGE)
Howl-arious adult animated film Fixed, which releases globally on August 13, opened to paw-tastic reviews and raised the ruff following its World Premiere. Visionary director Genndy Tartakovsky expressed his excitement: That. Was. Crazy! What an incredible reception! This is truly one of the reasons that I became an animator, to sit in a theater and watch people laugh and love hand-crafted animation! Ive always had great experiences in Annecy but this was the most exceptional one. NEW IMAGES
Writer and producer Raphael Bob-Waksberg delighted audiences with a masterclass that focused on his career from BoJack Horseman and Undone to his upcoming adult comedy series, Long Story Short. He also treated audiences to a preview of the first episode ahead of the series coming to Netflix on August 22. Bob-Waksberg said: There's nothing like Annecy when it comes to celebrating the vast, beautiful universe of animation. I'm honored I get to be a part of it. With all my projects I aspire to create something that will make people laugh, make people cry, and make angry dorks on the internet call me dumb and bad. I achieved all three with BoJack Horseman. With my new show I'm hoping to get at least two. NEW IMAGE
The studio held its inaugural studio focus Netflix Series Animation: Get Ready for What's Next! led by executive John Derderian (Vice President, Animation Series). The team provided an exclusive look at the upcoming shows from visionary storytellers and studios from around the world including sneak peeks from preschool series Dr. Seuss's Horton! to adult spectacle Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 and Magic: The Gathering, family spectacle Ghostbusters and Minecraft, and adult comedies Mating Season and Haunted Hotel.
Derderian announced the celebrated French animated series sensation Samuel will be available on Netflix in the US, Canada, Australia, Spain, India and France. The show is the brainchild of director milie Tronche, about a 10-year-old boy living in a small town who keeps a diary documenting his life and originally aired on Artes platform, is co-produced by Les Valseurs, Arte and Pikkukala.
Another highlight came from a pre-recorded video by showrunner and executive producer Ben Hibon on his high-end animated series based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise where he delighted the audiences with a peek at concept art from the upcoming series. BEN HIBON HEADSHOT
