Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves cast on turning a bunch of misfits into heroes

Dungeons & Dragons is that classic hero’s journey about a ragtag group of misfits,” said Chris Pine in a featurette for the movie. “You know, we have to fight dragons and evil wizards in order to save the world.”

Pine stars as Edgin the Bard, a cunning thief tasked with retrieving a stolen relic that unleashed an evil and powerful force into the world. Edgin forms a team of misfits to pull off the impossible heist and save the world. The group includes Michelle Rodriguez as Holga the Barbarian, Justice Smith as Simon the Sorcerer, Sophia Lillis as Doric the tiefling Druid, and Regé-Jean Page as Xenk the Paladin. Hugh Grant, Jason Wong, Chloe Coleman, and Daisy Head also star in supporting roles.

“The nuances that each individual actor brings is what makes this film so great,” said Smith.

Directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley from a script they co-wrote with Michael Gilio, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is based on the legendary role-playing game that originated in 1974. The directors believe they channeled the heart of the game to create an action-packed adventure made for the big screen.

“It’s a great adventure with characters you’re going to care about,” said Goldstein. “We want to give them the movie that they’ve been hoping for,” added Daley.

The best animated movies on Netflix right now
Mario and Luigi celebrating in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

There's no chance that Netflix could have planned it this way, but the top two theatrical animated films of 2023 are both currently streaming on the platform. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse joined Netflix's lineup on Halloween, and now The Super Mario Bros. Movie is here as well. That's quite a one-two punch. And that's not all that Netflix has in its arsenal. The original animated film, Leo, is another recent addition. Wish Dragon and The Boxtrolls have both been around for a while longer, but we're throwing the spotlight on those films as well.

Unfortunately, December will also be the last month that Megamind, The Adventures of Tintin, The Road to El Dorado, Kung Fu Panda, Sing 2, and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit are streaming on Netflix. That's a lot of great movies to lose all at once, but the new additions should make up for it for now. Keep reading for our full list of the best animated movies on Netflix. Then, check back in early 2024 as more animated movies arrive.
