Apple and Skydance Animation teamed up to create Blush, the story of a stranded astronaut falling in love. The sci-fi short debuts October 1 on Apple TV+.
The trailer dropped Tuesday with a first look at the adorableness. Watch it now:
Blush will give you all the feels
Apple’s description of its upcoming feature says, “Blush follows the journey of a stranded horticulturist-astronaut’s chances for survival after he crash lands on a desolate dwarf planet. When an ethereal visitor arrives, the once-lone traveler discovers the joy in building a new life and realizes the universe has delivered astonishing salvation.”
It’s written and directed by Joe Mateo, whose credits include Big Hero 6 and Prep & Landing.
When Blush premieres on Friday, October 1, it’ll be streamed on Apple TV+. There’s already a landing page for it.
Plenty more coming from Skydance Animation and Apple TV+
Skydance Animation is the cartoon division of a production company responsible for the Star Trek, Mission Impossible and Terminator franchises. In February 2021, the studio and Apple announced two new movies and a series to be released on the streaming video service. That includes Luck about a very unlucky girl, and Spellbound, a musical about a girl who sets out to break the spell that has divided her kingdom in two. Plus there’s The Search for WondLa, a series about a girl searching for a family.
Blush and these others will join a growing collection on animation on Apple TV+. Wolfboy and the Everything Factory premiered recently, and high-profile offerings include The Snoopy Show and the award-winning feature film Wolfwalkers. Plus there’s much more.
The streaming service, which offers a free seven-day trial, costs $4.99 a month. It also forms a key component of all Apple One subscription bundles.
