Skull Island is one of the most anticipated animated shows of 2023, as it is being animated by Powerhouse Studio and produced by big companies. And if you love to watch films like King Kong, then Skull Island is goanna be really entertaining for you all.
Skull Island got announced by Netflix in 2021. And the show is produced by big studios like Legendary Television, Powerhouse Studio, and Tractor Pants production. The anime was first going to release in 2022, but due to last moment changes, the anime got pushed to 2023.
The show will have a Japanese anime vibe in American style. It is the continuation of the Monster verse, in which we often see references from Kong and Godzilla. This article will cover Skull Island’s plot and voice cast, its first episode release date, and where you can watch it.
Skull Island’s Plot
In Skull Island, we will see Charlie and Mike trying to rescue their friend from the cops. When Charlie and Mike were on their journey to rescue their friend, Annie, their ship got caught in the strong waves of the ocean and deposited them on the shore of an island, Skull Island.
Luckily it was the same island where Annie was hiding from the cops. However, Charlie and Mike’s luck does not last long as they find out the island contains different types of dangerous monsters, with Kong as its guardian. If the monster was not enough for them, they also have run from the police who trying to capture Annie.
While living on the island for a while, Annie has the island monster as her pet. Annie’s mother, Irene, came to Skull Island to reuse her daughter, and Charlie’s father also came to look for him in Skull, so both joined hands to rescue their children.
Skull Island Production, Development & Cast
Skull Island is an action-packed adventure anime with stunting animation, in which we will see some references from the monster verse films like King Kong and Godzilla. Netflix hired Brian Duffield as the writer, director, and producer for the anime. Fear not because Brian Duffield has written many popular films like Baby Sitter (2017), Spontaneous (2020), Love and Monster (2020), and many more.
The voice cast for Skull Island has also been revealed, in which we will see Nicolas Cantu as Charlie, Mae Whitman as Annie, Darren Barnet as Mike, Benjamin Bratt as Cap, and Betty as Irene. If we talk about the animation segment, we see that the animator had worked hard to animate the action sequences, I am not sure if they had used CGI for it, but by watching the trailer, it seems like CGI has not been used for designing the monsters.
