Orion and the Dark Review
A nervous elementary school kid scared of literally everything learns to cope with his fears after a truly magical night. Orion and the Dark teaches children an astonishingly creative lesson on handling existential crises. The brilliant screenwriter Charlie Kaufman adapts Emma Yarlett’s superb storytelling and illustrations into a soaring, imaginative adventure. Youngsters will be dazzled by incredible animation and a narrative that doesn’t spoon-feed brainless drivel. The film expresses complex themes in a way that nurtures intellectual growth.
