Summary
This is a review of the Netflix animated film "Swapped" (original title "Como Mágica"), which follows the body-swap formula seen in films like "Freaky Friday" and "Se Eu Fosse Você." The story follows Ollie and Ivy, two young people from rival species who swap bodies after an unexpected event. The review notes the film doesn't reinvent the genre but uses the premise to build a fable about empathy, coexistence, and respect for differences.
