Mere Weeks After ‘Squid Game’ 2 Success, Netflix Lands Another Big Win With Two Iconic Animation Characters
As the competition between various streamers gets more intense, Netflix has fastened its seatbelt to engage in the relentless pursuit of being the top streamer. While it does get the upper hand due to the authority, it has built in the earlier years, with almost every streaming platform spicing things up. The big gun looked too hefty for the run until recently when it dropped Squid Game Season 2.
Following the bombastic success of the Korean series, the OTT Mogul has clenched another gold medal, owing to its versatility with an animated film.
Netflix continues its winning streak into the new year

While Netflix has had many good years, from the time its server quite literally broke down as people rushed to watch Stranger Things to the streamer establishing itself as a hub of diversity with Squid Game's release. Leaning further into the latter, Netflix has amped up the production of animated shows and movies, making way for a fun extravaganza with Wallace and Gromit in Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. The movie was certified fresh at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A fact not much appreciated about the streamer is how it has actively been working towards making unconventional animated content, each one better than the last. That it decided to bring together two iconic animated characters for the comedy adventure flick is proof of the same.
While the OTT giant is releasing both original and acquired animated content, it is also turning some of its trending projects into animated projects.
Netflix taking the animated route
Guillermo del Toro rightfully thanked Netflix in his Oscar speech for providing him with the platform, space, and time for a stop-motion animation project, a rarity that most would be too scared to pick. Netflix has only extended its graces since then, turning most of its favorite shows and characters into animation.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf was dropped by the OTT Mogul in such a classic fashion that it had the crowd tuning in. While things are yet to take motion, something in the animation department is in the works for Stranger Things as well. All this leaves almost no room for guessing that Netflix is going to be decorating its already dazzling animation menu further.
