background furry #19375 muh sister keeps pulling me away during my free time to watch critic videos on why some animated films are pretty good.
Will politely refuse next time since it was rood, but maybe I can glean some literary stuff from this. ^~[==>->==]~^
On the flipside, I think I can appreciate whymore films like the first Incredibles ([spoiler]grappling with mid-life crises[/spoiler]), "Shrek 2":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nk7y6c1Tow ([spoiler]"perfect sequel" about self-worth surmounting judgment passed judgfromen others[/spoiler]), "Ratatouille":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkdokuYtsZ8 ([spoiler]achieving one's aspirations despite the world seemingly against it[/spoiler]), Finding Nemo ([spoiler]something-something wholesome family values[/spoiler]) and Toy Story 2 ([spoiler]something-something existential crisis[/spoiler]). It's like they were and still are miles ahead of alot of their contemporaries. ~^maybe I can glean some literary tips from this stuff. [==>->==]^~
They're all, like, plots that can resonate with an adult audience (not just being trendy references and innuendoes to keep them awake in the theatre), but "winded down" enough that they're suitable for younger audiences as well.
There's also that weird stigma about animation (& by extension, comics & cartoons) being belittled as merely a genre, or put off as something for kids, which I guess are things someone would consider if they saw the medium in a passing glance, or think they're supplanting the cartoons they watched when they were younger with big-boy serious films about serious adults being serious in serious situations.
