Luck cast guide: Who is each actor playing in the movie?

This month, we’re in for a real treat with the arrival of new animation film, Luck! The fantasy comedy will debut globally on Friday, Aug. 5.

The visionaries behind Disney’s Toy Story and The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning are a part of the team for the upcoming Apple TV+ and Skydance Animation movie. The computer-animated movie is directed by Peggy Holmes, who was behind the third The Little Mermaid film. Among its producers is Joh Lasseter, who served as director on Toy Story and Cars.

The film is mostly set in the Land of Luck. It’s a place where animals and creatures work behind the scenes to create all the lucky and unlucky moments that make up our everyday lives. This system works because no human has ever stepped foot there, that is until the unluckiest person in the world, Sam Greenfield, does. As she finds herself in the Land of Luck, she realizes she has to unite the magical creatures there in the hopes of turning her own luck around.

So who are the talented actors bringing these characters to life? We’ve got the answer for you below!
