The animated Netflix sensation, KPop Demon Hunters, hasn't been out for very long - but it's already proven to be a huge hit among viewers of all ages. The animation style is beautiful, the storyline is genuinely engaging, and the soundtrack is phenomenal, topping charts all over the world. If you ask us, we think KPop Demon Hunters may be Netflix's closest thing yet to a Frozen moment,

After her heart is thoroughly broken by Kiki (Bernie Van Tiel), all finger-guns and sapphic swagger, Saira is devastated but there's no time to cry, because Kiki has been kidnapped by the Straight White Maliens (played by Mark Bonanno, Broden Kelly, and Zachary Ruane of Aunty Donna) and only Saira's legendary magical labrys can save her. Except Saira has never been able to summon the labrys which is her birthright.

Head-spinningly gorgeous in every frame, if also head-scratchingly impenetrable in many scenes (at least for some Western audiences), this mix of a 16th century novel, Chinese mythology and breathtaking digital imagery is already a worldwide box-office juggernaut. It's taken in about $2 billion worldwide (more than Inside Out 2, Hollywood's top-grossing animated film). And the film is likely to win new fans, as it's only now being released in the U.S. with an English voice cast.

"Have a Grubby day!" is a frequent refrain in Julian Glander's Boys Go to Jupiter. It's the catchphrase for Grubster, a Grubhub-esque food-delivery service for which Billy works, reflecting his life's humiliations in the gig economy.

KPop Demon Hunters is a runaway hit, with Netflix moving to develop sequels and spinoffs, although a live-action remake is not currently in discussion.

Ne Zha 2 became the first and only animated movie to ever cross the $2 billion mark at the global box office after its release in January.

The character of Smurfette, though taking a leading role in the new movie, embodies the Smurfette principle, representing a common trope of a lone female in a male-dominated narrative.

The episode recounts the chaotic journey to watch Jin's livestream concert with excitement, sleep deprivation, and tech hiccups, highlighting Jin's impressive performances and fan interactions.

We are so excited to share a first look of the film and show the amazing fidelity with which the team have used our actors on set performances to drive the animated characters.

I love the world of Death Stranding, it's so creatively freeing, so beautifully dark and yet hopeful. I will be creating new stories into this fertile, mind-bending universe.

In 'Meteor,' Khademolreza masterfully uses rotoscope animation to blend personal grief with the larger social upheaval in Iran, all sparked by Amini's death.
