He partakes in his wild journey alongside an eccentric band of animals. The journey becomes action-packed with themes of identity, belonging and survival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want this film to push the boundaries of animation so our audience can fall in love with these endangered, quirky misfits,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cIt\u2019s a story for the underdog \u2013 about resilience, survival, and finding where we truly belong. As an Afro-Latino in the industry, I\u2019ve always embraced the underdog spirit, and this film reflects that journey. Oh, and let\u2019s not forget \u2014 there\u2019s a high-stakes heist\/kidnapping that kicks off Donnie\u2019s mission and leads to unexpected growth and self-discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>On the Edge<\/em> provides a family-friendly viewing experience, teaching children about biodiversity and conservation.
