I discovered Orion and the Dark entirely by accident. My girls were obsessed with Luca, the Disney/Pixar film from 2021, and so we were looking for more movies with Jacob Tremblay, who voices Luca. We tripped upon Orion and the Dark right after it was released in February, and the film is a moving one about a little boy who’s afraid of the dark and has overcome his fears while helping others overcome theirs.
Orion and the Dark begins with Orion (Jacob Tremblay), an 11-year-old boy journaling about all of his anxieties and fears. The big one coming up is whether Sally, a girl at school he has a crush on, will like him back. His class is about to take a trip to the planetarium, and he’s hoping to spend time with her there after she expresses her eagerness to see him.
Before the big trip, the power goes out on Orion’s block one night and his room goes pitch black. As the dark is Orion’s biggest fear, his anxiety kicks into overdrive.
