First, a sneak peek behind the curtain. When our planned review of Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” fell through, we considered whether we needed to reassign it and presumed that it was one of many lackluster animated streaming releases that our critical beat could skip. We were wrong.
Since its release in mid-June, this Sony Animation adventure flick has become one of the biggest original hits in the history of the streaming service. As of this writing, it sits comfortably right behind “Happy Gilmore 2” and its predecessor, which would be incredible if it had come out three days ago but is far more remarkable for a film that’s over a month old. Nothing stays long in the spotlight on Netflix because of the speed of its revolving door of content, so why has “KPop Demon Hunters” become immortal?
