Without Myranda (Ramsay Bolton’s girlfriend), Theon Greyjoy wouldn’t have had his hero moment and helped Sansa Stark escape....

Aside from the whimsical blend of truth and fiction,Jerry Seinfeld’s first movie directing credit, Netflix’sUnfrosted, immediately captures the attention with its stacked cast. In particular, the co-writer, director, and star’s choice for the man behind the legendary voice of Tony the Tiger,Hugh Grant, seems to perfectly fit the playful tone of the movie.

And as this first teaser trailer reveals, Jack-Jack is going to be quite the handful. Incrediblesfans probably saw that coming, especially if they saw writer-directorBrad Bird’s 2005 animated shortJack-Jack Attack.
