- The studio revealed Clay at the D23 Entertainment Showcase, with concept art and Kieran Culkin announced as the voice of Flip, and a theatrical release set for November 22, 2028.
- Disney’s synopsis describes Flip as an inept mentor who is assigned to care for a living ball of clay called Mushy (reported with variant spellings), launching a chaotic, transformative journey.
