Netflix has released the trailer for its latest animated feature, Wish Dragon.
The film features a delivery boy named Din (Jimmy Wong) who stumbles across a teapot that contains a mystical wish-granting dragon named Long (John Cho). Wishing to reconnect with his childhood friend Lina, Din asks Long to transform him into a member of high society. However, things go south when Din is approached by forces who want the teapot -- and Long's wish-granting powers -- at all costs.
Wish Dragon is written and directed by Chris Appelhans, who previously worked on the art departments for Coraline and Rise of the Guardians. Actor/martial artist Jackie Chan serves as a producer on Wish Dragon along with Aron Warner and Chris Bremble, and provides the voice of Long for the film's Mandarin version. Warner is best known for serving as a producer on the Shrek film series and its spinoff Puss in Boots.
Netflix had previously announced its intention to become the major distributor of family-themed animation programming, surpassing rival Disney+. It saw the debut of the Sony Pictures Animation film The Mitchells vs. The Machines in April and will feature other animated films such as America: The Motion Picture and Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans.
Written and directed by Chris Appelhans, Wish Dragon stars the voice talents of Jimmy Wong, John Cho, Constance Wu, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Will Yun Lee, Jimmy O. Yang, Aaron Yoo, Bobby Lee, and Ronnie Chieng. It will premiere on Netflix on June 11.
