Haars also stars as one of the main characters Robbie Schuurmans in the popular New Kids sketches and films. The New Kids blockbusters not only became a hit in The Netherlands, but were also successful in Belgium, Japan, Scandinavia, etc. In Germany, New Kids Turbo was the biggest Dutch film release ever. On top of the success at the box-office, the movies also won several awards at film festivals, like New Kids Turbo - Best Director Comedy Fantastic Fest 2011 and New Kids Nitro - Best Comedy Fantastic Fest 2012.
