Another animation movie from Netflix that made it to the Oscar Awards 2020 is Klaus. The Spanish animated Christmas comedy cost $40 million. Sergio Pablos makes his directorial debut on the animated movie and it received positive reviews.
The movie is about, Klaus and a postman’s son, Jesper. The unlikely duo forms a partnership and delivers toys to children in a small town. This Santa Claus origin insinuating movie cost $40 million to make. The Oscar board also nominated it in the Best Animated Feature Film category.
The Irishman is another Netflix movie that made the Oscar cut. However, this movie enters the award contest in nine different categories. Despite not being an animation movie like the other two we have mentioned, computer imagery was widely used in its production.
Casting aged Hollywood veterans like Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci, it had to employ a de-aging tech to show them in their younger days.
It is one of the most praised productions from the streaming website’s studio and it cost $159 million.
Although not all the money in the movie’s budget went into computer-generated imagery, a large chunk of it did.
It also had many nominations at the Golden Globes Awards but had flopped relatively, winning only two awards. Netflix is, however, likely going to do better at the upcoming Oscars with its computer animation movies.
