Have been working on this one for the last couple of months, excited for everyone to see what the team at @imageworksvfx has been cooking!

CHARLIE VS. THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, a new animated film starring Kit Connor and Taika Waititi, is coming to Netflix.

Willy Wonka has returned to his factory after years behind bars for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world, only one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley and a new generation of "rotten" kids.

@maggiemkang And it happened! No petition needed 😅 what an incredible performance and what an incredible night! Congrats 🥳🥳🥳

[Nir Avital @niravital]

@maggiemkang Is it too early to start a petition for them to perform in the Oscars Awards show?

[Jada Yuan @jadabird]

Hey Oscars producers, if you have time for a lengthy Bridesmaids bit and dumb filler presenter intros, you have time to let the winners give their thanks. It’s the best part of the show. Cutting off the mic after one person speaks (esp that Golden speech) is so, so cold. #oscars

[The Academy @TheAcademy]

Idols by day. Hunters by night. Oscar winners tonight. KPOP DEMON HUNTERS secures the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film! #Oscars

@desolatist Thank you so much for the kind words! It's really heartwarming and humbling to hear you enjoyed it so much 🥹☺️ everyone on the crew really put their hearts into it 🙏

[Nir Avital @niravital]

@desolatist That's one of the shots I animated on the movie ☺️ gotta say that animating that bit of the performance was some of the most fun I had animating! We really tried to push the rhythm and the poses to make it as entertaining as possible 🙏

[Cartoon Brew @cartoonbrew]

For those of you keeping track at home, that's a perfect 10/10 for 'KPop Demon Hunters' at this year's Annies. Golden.

[Nir Avital @niravital]

I can't think of someone more deserving for this award, Ryusuke's animation was jaw-dropping and inspirational throughout the entire movie ❤️ congrats Ryusuke!!

[Cartoon Brew @cartoonbrew]

The Annie Award for Best Character Animation - Feature went to:
'KPop Demon Hunters' — Ryusuke Furuya

[Nir Avital @niravital]

As one of the animators who worked on the movie, who also happens to be a long time Vikings fan - having the singing voices of Huntrix perform at US Bank Stadium is absolutely surreal. Never imagined these two worlds will collide like that but I welcome it wholeheartedly 😂😊💜
