If what you liked most about KPop Demon Hunters was the animation style — blending 3D with 2D elements — you should know that the studio behind it, Sony Pictures Animation, has long been innovating with various techniques. The crown jewel of their work is their Spider-Man films, with the first, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, even winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature for its technical innovations, which, in essence, created a spectacular animated comic.
Also from Sony Pictures, The Mitchells vs. The Machines is a fun family sci-fi comedy about a dysfunctional family that must face the machine apocalypse. This film mixes 3D with 2D texture elements for its unique art direction, presenting a visually stunning tech-driven world, while also highlighting human expressions and comedic moments.
If what you liked about KPop Demon Hunters was the music and the concept of pop stars as alter egos, you should watch Belle, directed by Japanese filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda. This film reimagines Beauty and the Beast and tells the story of a shy high school girl who, secretly, is a pop superstar in a vast virtual world.
Pixar's Turning Red, is another film that shares much with KPop Demon Hunters. It also has a plot that, based on its Asian roots (Chinese in this case), deals with themes such as the weight of inherited family expectations. And of course, it includes the fangirl craze for a boy band.
Also featuring references to Asian folklore but with more musical numbers is Over the Moon, a family fantasy film about a girl who dreams of traveling to the Moon to prove the truth of the stories her mother used to tell her. Another movie that deals with legacies through music.
