While critics often deride animated films that feel too hyperactive, K-pop demon hunting requires speed, and the film is at its most enjoyable when it’s bursting with visual energy, buoyed by strong pop songs like “Golden” and “Takedown,” which have already become streaming hits (the soundtrack is the bestselling for an animated film since 2021’s “Encanto”).

In fact, the last film we went to see in the theater was the sing-along version of Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters.
