New Short Film “The Boy and the Octopus” Announced for Holiday Release

However, the film is, oddly, swimming past Disney+

Academy Award winner Taika Waititi has directed a new holiday short for Disney debuting in just a few days.

What’s Happening:

  • The Boy and the Octopus, a new short film from director Taika Waititi, is being released this coming Tuesday from Disney.
  • Only a small trailer and poster have been released so far, but the film looks to find a young boy who meets a tiny octopus while snorkeling.

  • Taika Waititi is best known for his work directing Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder.
  • He won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on Searchlight Pictures’ Jojo Rabbit.
  • Unlike recent Disney holiday short films, which tend to debut on Disney+, The Boy and the Octopus will debut November 12th on YouTube.
