They were sure bets at the Oscars, and now Kidscreen‘s readers have voted that Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans should win our weekly Gold Star! It’s hard to argue that the co-directors of KPop Demon Hunters didn’t have the best week around, thanks to both their Academy victory and their sweet contracts to keep making animated movies exclusively for Netflix. In this biz, it’s hard to turn one-off success into long-term stability, so we couldn’t be more thrilled for this golden duo.
Read what we wrote Friday about Kang and Appelhans—as well as runners-up Fred Rogers Productions, Just Play, PBS KIDS and Wanda Studios—right here.
