Animated movie debuts August 5 on Apple TV+
Can Apple steal the Best Animated Feature Oscar from the Disney/Pixar juggernaut? They certainly appear to be trying to capture some of Pixar's magic with Luck, the delayed debut feature from Skydance Animation, the new studio run by controversial former Pixar leader John Lasseter. And Luck's screenplay comes from another Pixar veteran, Kiel Murray (Cars), along with Kung Fu Panda writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger. Eva Noblezada voices the lead character, Sam, who considers herself the unluckiest person in the world—until finding a way into the magical Land of Luck, where she hopes to turn things around without causing too much chaos along the way. Simon Pegg, Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Flula Borg, Colin O'Donoghue, and Lil Rel Howery fill out the voice cast.
