I found Orion and the Darkish solely by chance. My ladies had been obsessive about Luca, the Disney/Pixar movie from 2021, and so we had been on the lookout for extra motion pictures with Jacob Tremblay, who voices Luca. We tripped upon Orion and the Darkish proper after it was launched in February, and the movie is a transferring one about slightly boy who’s afraid of the darkish and has overcome his fears whereas serving to others overcome theirs.
Orion and the Darkish begins with Orion (Jacob Tremblay), an 11-year-old boy journaling about all of his anxieties and fears. The massive one developing is whether or not Sally, a woman at college he has a crush on, will like him again. His class is about to make a journey to the planetarium, and he’s hoping to spend time together with her there after she expresses her eagerness to see him.
Earlier than the large journey, the ability goes out on Orion’s block one evening and his room goes pitch black. Because the darkish is Orion’s largest concern, his anxiousness kicks into overdrive.
