Netflix Unveils Its First Adam Sandler Animated Title ‘Leo,’ Headed By ‘Hotel Transylvania’ And ‘SNL’ Writing Team

The kids and family feature will debut on Netflix on November 22 of this year.

After earning 51 nominations and 20 wins last year, Netflix again leads the pack with 50 nominations.

Despite being available to rent now, “Puss in Boots” pulled in more money at the U.S. box office in its fourth weekend than the prior weekend.

The company pulled in nearly a quarter-billion dollars at the Japanese box office, surpassing its previous record set in 2009.

It is also the third year in a row that a direct-to-streaming animated film has won the Critics Choice animation honor.

Here’s a great collection of animated features that push perceptions of what the art form can be.

These standout features from 2022 deserve a close look from Oscar voters.

The film opens January 25 in Korean theaters.

In his acceptance speech, del Toro reminded audiences that, “Animation is cinema,” and that it is “not a genre for kids; it’s a medium.”

Universal’s other two winners in 2022 were “Minions: The Rise of Gru” and “The Bad Guys.”

He is also developing an original fantasy film that is tonally between “Lord of the Rings” and “Princess Bride.”

The film, directed by Luka Rukavina and produced by Zagreb-based animation studio Diedra, will be distributed in more than 30 territories.

And ‘Strange World’ inched closer to ‘Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’ in total NA box office.

Hulu debuts ‘Koala Man’ as other platforms bring back favorites including ‘The Legend of Vox Machina,’ ‘Vinland Saga,’ and ‘The Bad Batch.’

No animated series made this year’s Top 10, although ‘The Sandman,’ featuring an animated half-episode by Hisko Hulsing, was eighth.

Both films are also being hurt by a down Chinese box office as ‘Strange World’ goes out with a whimper.

Adapted from the book “Julián Is a Mermaid,” the film will feature hand-drawn animation and a bit of magic.

‘Puss in Boots’ is now one of the year’s best-reviewed animated features, and a guaranteed awards season contender.

The Academy also unveiled the ten films shortlisted for the visual effects category.

“This is a story about mortality,” says director Joel Crawford of “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” a sequel that pushes beyond the original film.
