By far the greatest supplier of Netflixs top ranking animated films was Universal, which through a exclusive licensing deal, brought 22 titles to the streamer during these months most of them, fromDreamWorksandIllumination.
Other companies represented on the list included Sony (with 3), Paramount/Nickelodeon (1), and Frances SND (1).
The relative impact of licensed titles in comparison to originals, in this case, is not all that dissimilar from whats been seen on the TV side at Netflix, given the streamers unique gift for making chart-topping phenomena out of old series likeSuits.
Animated titles remain a terrific investment for the streamer, overall given their tendency to be screened for children on repeat, for starters.
