Netflix is tightening its belt regarding new animated projects, but that hasn’t stopped the streaming platform from producing one of this year’s most intriguing animation dramas. I submit for your entertainment Kid Cudi’s Entergalactic trailer. Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi and Kenya Barris executive produce this original and emotional story about a young artist named Jabari (Mescudi), who steadily learns that love is the only thing that will save us all.

In the Entergalactic trailer, Jabari moves into a posh apartment and introduces himself to his new neighbor, a photographer, and woman-of-the-moment, Meadow (voiced by Jessica Williams). As the couple explores New York City, taking advantage of all the Big Apple has to offer, the two young lovers learn the ropes of heart and artistic expression.

Timothée Chalamet, Ty Dolla $ign, Laura Harrier, Vanessa Hudgens, Christopher Abbott, 070 Shake, Jaden Smith, Keith David, Teyana Taylor, Arturo Castro, and Macaulay Culkin join Mescudi and Williams as cast members. The Entergalactic trailer depicts the film in an animation style akin to Spider-Man: Enter the Spider-Verse or A Scanner Darkly. Thanks to the project’s beautiful color palette, expressive characters, and loving portrayal of New York City, Entergalactic stands to become one of 2021’s most ambitious and impressive animations.

Entergalactic premieres on Netflix on September 30th.
