Cedric The Entertainer brings the laughs in new Netflix animated film ‘Swapped’

A little chaos, a lot of comedy, and one seriously wild switch-up—‘Swapped’ is about to shake up your weekend! The new animated film starring Cedric the Entertainer, Michael B. Jordan, Tracy Morgan and Juno Temple officially begins streaming this Friday on Netflix, and it’s bringing big laughs with a story that flips everything you think you know—literally. At the center of Swapped is a magical, can’t-believe-it-happened moment that turns two completely different creatures into unlikely heroes. When they suddenly switch bodies, they’re forced to navigate each other’s worlds—worlds that are bigger, scarier, and way more complicated than they ever imagined. What starts as total confusion quickly turns into a high-stakes adventure filled with close calls, clever teamwork, and plenty of hilarious missteps along the way. Cedric the Entertainer leads the charge with his unmistakable voice and comedic timing as “Caloo”, bringing warmth and personality to a character who’s learning—sometimes the hard way—that life looks very different from the other side. And while the film delivers on fun and fast-paced action, it also leans into a bigger message about empathy, understanding, and seeing beyond first impressions. Watch as Lauren Kelly chats with Cedric all about the charming new film, that stars streaming on Netflix Friday.
