Netflix unveiled first looks at a whole host of its upcoming animated shows and features during an event today, including Zack Snyder's Norse Mythology epic Twilight of the Gods, the Terminator Zero anime, the new Wallace and Gromit movie, and a much more.

Deborah Snyder then chimed in to emphasize how many different styles of animation the streamer continues to showcase.
“In animation you can do things that you can’t afford to do in live action, “ she said. “You can stylize them in any way you can imagine them to be. There’s a lot of possibilities for creativity.”
