Ray Gunn | Official Trailer #2 | Netflix

What did you think?

Venus Nova has adoring crowds, a tour called "Innocent" and enough trouble to require a private investigator. Keeping her safe is Ray Gunn's assignment. Working out what she isn't telling him looks considerably harder.

Netflix's "Ray Gunn | Official Trailer #2 | Netflix" introduces that arrangement amid flying vehicles, alien encounters and a city full of corruption. The animated detective film comes from Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles, Ratatouille and The Iron Giant, with a voice cast including Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Waits and Matt Berry.

The trailer reached about 1.4 million views in 14 hours, putting it far ahead of Netflix's usual start for uploads of this length. Its comment section is unusually busy, too, with viewers reaching for a particular set of comparisons: Blade Runner, Treasure Planet and the slightly oddball animated adventures of the early 2000s. Others point specifically to the mix of a 1950s-style look and futuristic detective work.

The footage gives those comparisons something concrete to attach to. Ray moves from a weapon shop to a crime scene, takes the job protecting Venus and winds up in chases and assassination attempts. Beside him is Ira, a one-eyed alien partner with a clear assessment of their profession: "It's hard being the only honest players in a crooked game."

Netflix lists select theatrical screenings, including some in 70mm, from December 4, followed by a streaming release on December 18.

This is basically Blade Runner + The Incredibles. I'm so excited.

This really feels like one of those obscure early 2000s movies.

I see Mr Wolf really got to be a space detective. Good for him.

If it’s from the same person behind The Iron Giant, Ratatouille, or The Incredibles... it’s a MUST-WATCH.
