The Croods: A New Age (2020)
Kevin & Dan Hageman are brothers and sworn blood enemies who have momentarily brokered peace to write and produce some of the most beloved animated franchises in film and television.

Currently, they're Executive Producers and Showrunners to the Emmy-winning animated series Star Trek: Prodigy which found a new home on Netflix at the end of 2023. Most recently, they co-wrote the Golden Globe nominated film The Croods: A New Age for Dreamworks Animation, as well as wrote the live-action horror film Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark for Guillermo Del Toro and CBS Films. They also were Co-Executive Producers and Showrunners of the multiple Emmy award-winning animated Netflix series Trollhunters also for acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro and Dreamworks Animation. In its second season, the Hagemans won an Emmy for Best Outstanding Writing in an Animated Program, and recently completed the film finale Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans. Prior to that, the Hagemans co-created the acclaimed The LEGO Movie with producer Dan Lin, director/writers Lord & Miller, and Warner Brothers Animation. The film has won numerous awards and spawned movie spinoffs, sequels, TV shows and theme park attractions.

Off the success of The LEGO Movie, the brothers worked closely with the Danish toy company to write and Executive Produce LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu for the Cartoon Network based on the LEGO toy line. It quickly grabbed the imagination of children across the world and grew into a global phenomenon. The hit animated series just aired its 15th season, and helped launch The LEGO Ninjago Movie, which they helped develop for the big screen. Other theatrical credits for the Hagemans include creating the story for the animated hit film Hotel Transylvania for Adam Sandler and Sony Animation, which has grown into a franchise that includes four sequels and a television series.

The Hagemans are repped by Verve, Underground Management and Hansen Jacobson.
