8<\/span> Duck Duck Goose (2018) – $19.6 Million<\/h2>\n

A voice-over role, Duck Duck Goose is a 2018 Netflix animated film written by the creator of Surf’s Up that was removed from a US theatrical distribution for unknown reasons. Chi is voiced by Zendaya and is rescued by Peng, who is portrayed by Jeff Gaffigan. The film was a collaborative effort between the United States and China, grossing approximately $19.6 million globally.

A post shared by DUNE (@dunemovie)<\/p>\n
