• Co-director Chris Appelhans said animation enables the extreme shifts in performance and physicality that define the movie’s style.
• Reports have flagged talks about an animated sequel and a possible remake, but the filmmakers say there is nothing official they can discuss.
• The film broke Netflix viewership records, and a sing-along release reportedly topped the U.S. box office with roughly $18–20 million in one weekend.
• The soundtrack’s momentum continues, with the lead single holding No. 1 on Billboard for eight consecutive weeks as the creators signal future stories only in animation.
