‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Film Review: Best Animated Film of 2025?

CinemAddicts co-host Bruce Purkey praised the new animated feature “KPop Demon Hunters,” and currently it’s his favorite animated feature of 2025. In general, what makes this movie so special? Check out Bruce’s review below and let us know your thoughts on the film!

Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) are protecting the world against Demon King Gwi-Ma (Lee Byung-hun). Finishing their world tour as the K-pop group HUNTRX, the ladies must take on the evil forces who appear in the form of a boy band! Directed by Chris Appelhans and Maggie Kang, this silly premise captivated Bruce Purkey, and he gave “KPop Demon Hunters” an overwhelmingly enthusiastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Rounding out the voice cast ensemble are Ken Jeong (Bobby), Daniel Dae Kim (Healer Han), and Yunjin Kim (Celine).

With a 96% (critics) and 91% (audience) rating on Rotten Tomatoes, “KPop Demon Hunters” has become a pop culture smash. However, I am absolutely clueless on this movie’s supposed brilliance. That said, my plan is to watch this flick with my niece. I’m assuming we’ll both love it!

Now streaming on Netflix “Kpop Demon Hunters,” is one of this year’s biggest surprises. Catch Bruce’s review on our CinemAddicts episode or on YouTube:
