“KPop Demon Hunters” has won the Academy Award for best animated feature film. The victory caps a culturally defining run that has placed the musical-action movie atop both box-office and musical charts. It beat out “Arco,” “Elio,” “Little Amélie or the Character of Rain” and “Zootopia 2.” Netflix’s big blockbuster follows HUNTR/X, a three-person vocal group that battles other-worldly demons, a rival boy band and their lead singer’s own shame. Alongside all the demon-slaying and choreography is a novel story of self-acceptance that blends Korean folklore and K-pop idol culture.
