Animation, music and romance blend together in Entergalactic, a 2022 American feature built around a rising streetwear-loving artist trying to hold onto love while his career takes off.
What is Entergalactic about?
Jabari is an artist on the edge of a real breakthrough, the kind of moment where a career can suddenly demand everything a person has. Just as that momentum starts pulling him in one direction, his new neighbor Meadow pulls him in another, and the film settles into the tension between chasing success and making room for someone new. Director Fletcher Moules gives the story a distinct visual identity, using an animation style built to move with the rhythm of its soundtrack rather than sit apart from it. The film was developed alongside a companion album from Kid Cudi, who also voices the lead role, so the music and the story are woven together rather than layered on top of each other after the fact. Jessica Williams voices Meadow, with Laura Harrier, Ty Dolla Sign, Timothée Chalamet, Vanessa Hudgens, Christopher Abbott and Keith David rounding out the voice cast around the two leads.

Context & significance
Entergalactic is a 2022 American animated feature that mixes comedy, music and romance, released alongside a full studio album carrying the same name and built around Kid Cudi's music. The animation approach favors bold color and a hand-drawn feel over a fully photorealistic style, giving the film a visual texture closer to a graphic novel than a typical studio cartoon, and the soundtrack runs through nearly every scene rather than sitting in the background.
