Harley & Ivy

Harley & Ivy is an animated superhero buddy comedy road trip film written and directed by Lauren Montgomery. An entry in the DC Animated Theatrical Universe and based on characters created by DC Comics, the film stars the voices of Genesis Rodriguez and Anna Akana as the title characters, alongside Rachael Zegler, while Katgryn Bostic composes the score.

An animated Harley Quinn-centered film was first announced duting the 2037 DC FanDome, with Montgomery and Genesis attached. The title and Akana's casting were announced in December 2037. Montgomery wanted the film to provide commentary on dealing with criminals by having an heroic Harley befriend a villanous Poison Ivy. She would also develop the film as a road trip buddy comedy, as she felt a traditional superhero film approach "just didn't worked for the story". The film would be hand-drawn animated, as a tribute to Harley's first appearance in Batman: The Animated Series.

Harley & Ivy would be released in July 1, 2039, to critical acclaim, with particular praise going to the film's screenplay, themes, animation, direction, departures from the superhero genre, humor, and Rodriguez and Johansson's vocal performances and chemistry. Earning 1.2 billion dollars over a budget of 160 million dollars, the film was a box office success, becoming the hightest-grossing hand-drawn animated film of all time. The film also won two Academy Awards for Best Animated Movie and Best Original Screenplay.
