Netflix names Hannah Minghella as the head of its animation studios as part of a restructuring that consolidates animation under one executive. Multiple outlets report that Minghella, who joined Netflix in 2024 and already oversaw feature animation, is now given overall responsibility for Netflix animation. In the new role, she leads the animation film slate and oversees a large organization, including more than 1,000 employees, according to one report. The change also reallocates responsibilities for live-action family films. Kira Goldberg, previously covering both live-action family films and animation, is set to focus on live-action family movies as those duties are moved away from Minghella’s newly animation-only remit. The reshuffle is described as an effort to streamline Netflix’s animated operations. While outlets note recent performance of Netflix’s animation initiatives, including “Kpop Demon Hunters,” the specific details of the animation lineup discussed publicly vary by report. Overall, the coverage agrees on the core management change: Minghella becomes the chief animation executive, while Goldberg’s portfolio shifts toward live-action family film.
