And so are comics, film, video games, toys, paintings, photography, etc
pharrell williams
he began the intro for best animated feature with that Bible quote about becoming a man and putting away childish things. Then sorta backpedalled and talked about imagination
It's hard to recognize him without that retardly, oversized hat he always wears.
hes just hiding his power level,hes a fucking weeb

Animation is for children, undeserved pandering and racial politics is for adults.
I think the children win.
So are superheroes but apparently that gets a pass
Limiting a medium like that is silly
And CGI is for big boys?
to any nonburgers out there what does your country think about Yea Forums stuff? Is it all seen as kiddy crap or no?
this, animation is for young adults too!
Wasn't every nominee a children's movie?
animation is a medium, not a genre
dumb fuckhead
american animation at least, europe and japan already stepped up their game
The Soviet Union used to have a very prestigious and high quality animation workforce, Unionfilm. It's made enough important animation pictures to influence not one but three generations into valuing quality cartoons. This is especially because you as an adult should watch cartoons with your kid as a bonding experience, rather than place them in front of the TV and walk about your day.
However, modern day Russia is two generations removed from those times and while you still get gems like Masha and the Bear and the stop-motion Ugly Duckling, it's become very much a kid's thing because of the falling standards of family in my home country.
Children would probably be pretty bored and weirded out watching Isle of Dogs
Can I get a source for this quote or are we going to keep arguing about something that might not have even happened?
Some of us actually watched the Oscars, user.
I was distracted by his silly shorts
It was the fucking Oscars, everyone saw it happen
I personally don't think he was trying to be a dick with the "put away childish things" quote, but at the same time I can see how it would be kind of perturbing and it's a really shitty interpretation of the scripture passage anyway
So he did the speech about putting away childish things and he showed up to an award show in fucking shorts?
yeah I think they would
youtube.com
>put away childish things and replace them with cliches and sexualized underaged girls
It’s weird that Americans generally think animation is kids stuff considering that
some of the most popular Yea Forums shows aren’t (or originally weren’t) aimed at kids. Just look at the shows aired on fox, mtv, comedy central, adult swim, etc.
fuck Nick Cannon
This is a 45 year old man with four children and multiple business connections that make him worth 150 million.
>“There’s the obvious problem of animation being viewed more as a genre than merely a medium viable for telling stories in any genre,” says Duke Johnson, co-director of 2015’s Best Animated Film nominee Anomalisa. “Any illusions I had of us actually being able to win going into Oscar night were dashed the moment our category was introduced by Woody and Buzz Lightyear. As if to say, this category contains films that are cute and whimsical and ultimately for children. I don’t think people know what to do with animation that’s not broad. They don’t feel qualified to judge it in the same way they do live action. Many indie offerings just don’t fit into the narrow understanding of what animation is and should be for most people.”

Wow what a litmus test of maturity the Japanese are
Anyone else see a noose around his neck at first glance?
Who is this?
>A bad singer who got famous because of a song he wrote for Despicable Me 1 (which is a children's movie and it's animation)
>Denounces the one piece of media that got him fame
Now that's what I call an ungrateful cunt.
Didn’t Pharell Williams have an anime music video of him wanting to fuck a loli at the beach?
Not sure if he’s being entirely fair here.
You know a majority of Japanese hate otaku culture and view people who watch anime as manchildren?
The majority of Japs are soulless worker automatons and baby factories who will ostracise someone if they were slightly late for work one day.
>Isle of Dogs
I just realized this could be pronounced "I Love Dogs"
>baby factories
Take it you haven't heard about the declining birth rate
That's on purpose
I seeing a Frozen characters getting double penetrated in the ass by faceless men. So kids can still watch those because its animation, right ?
But he got famous because he hung around people like Kanye and Beyonce, not the yellow jews.
Isn’t that how Elsagate started?
S-sauce?
I mean women exist purely to produce children. Career women in japan, while loved by the corporations for obvious reasons, are stigmatised by the general population because they are not producing children. They’re called “selfish women” or something like that.
"Famous"?
The only thing I know Kanye for is the times he said something that shocked normies and all I know Beyonce for is Destiny's Child
Stop assuming the world cares about American nigger culture
>meanwhile, videogames have long been accepted as an equal, if not superior medium to film
>have dwarfed film as an industry financially
>have hundreds if not thousands of noteworthy auteurs doing independent and small budget titles that challenge preconceptions and make more profit than some weird puppet movie ever did
>brain drained all the real animation talent twenty years ago, if not earlier. If you want to be a successful artist, you work in videogames, not animation
Animation IS for kids, because all the people who would've turned it into a medium worthy of being adult just moved into the videogame industry. Videogames ARE what animation for adults looks like.
lmao user your basement dwelling isn’t wider culture. They are popular amongst normalfags. That’s what fame is: to be popular in a population.
Anyone got a link to him saying this? I don't watch the oscars
That “Mirai” anime that was nominated had a working mother and a stay-at-home father.
I'm not assuming anything, user, that really is how he established his career. It's not like he was scrubbing dishes or sucking dick to get by prior to Minions.
>They are popular amongst normalfags
You mean among American white liberals and black people, a very small fragment of the world's population?
They aren't that famous and you need to stop being an American nigger, you American nigger

Black Panther was nominated for 7 Oscars
So are songs about free lapdances, but I still like N.E.R.D over your solo shite.
People actually watch the oscars? Why? Do you hate yourself or something?
Frogland here, no, we get a lot of animated films geared for teens and adults sometimes. Mutafukaz being the most recent example.

Yeah
Ok you sound like you honestly believe that the majority of the western population don't live in cities or have access to the internet, but I won't shatter that illusion since it makes you comfortable.
Rap music is for children too
This is a thread about the animation industry we dont talk about reality here.
>You must be 18 or older to post here.
I'm 33 and don't care about niggers
While true, also worth keeping in mind that manga is universally beloved across all age groups/social classes, which is just a hop/skip/jump away from full animation.
>animation is for children
tell him music belongs in churches
This is the kind of people that should die in a fire for saying such things. These are ART. These are POP CULUTRE.
Pharrell is safe because he does good music, but YOU...YOU WILL REGRET
Ok, Pharrell is 100% redeemed.
Nah, no worries. When the time demands it, Video games get shat on aswell. It all depends on the context, really. Also playing game for the sake of the story is pleb tier, desu.
Pretty sure he's just reading a script. He's a massive weeb.
Wes Anderson movies are for artsy jackasses. And I say that as a fan.
>I personally don't think he was trying to be a dick with the "put away childish things" quote
True enough. This wasn't Chris Rock shitting on voice acting.
Depends, are one or both of those dudes Spider-Man? If so, then yes.
Says a guy who did a cover of a nursery rhyme.

Dwayne Johnson had to say “Animation is a genre” for the Oscars a couple years back
He is right you know

Fuck Yea Forums you are all shit
>3,2,1... let the Ad Hominens start
Doesn't bode well the perception of animation is that's how the academy is wording the intro to the award. But both the Asian mommy and Pharell seemed excited when Spider-verse won. Cute.
>Oscars telling us to grow up
Makes sense, they want a medium to be children-fueled so they know where to go to get their tiny pussies Hollywood so desires
You're not in Japan though.

>Shill Maher
not even gonna watch
So, basically Anime, Comics and Video Games should be axed aswell.
This guy is more unamerican than John Olliver. That's not a bad thing but he shouldn't be living in a country which is branded by the most childish concept in history: "the American Dream".
Actually it's more like never take pride in things you like, only take pride in how you're an adult doing adult things like telling people you're sad they're alive.
The only hypocrisy here is the guy is a comedian and show host, so he's as much part of the problem if he wants to be taken seriously. And if he's just doing it to get laughs from his yuppie audience, then fuck him, who cares?
it's funny how big comics and animation are in France, yet fucking no one cares about it in Germany.
Switzerland makes a stop motion movie from time to time, but they're usually a bit too dark/serious for children.
I wasn't taking that user nor the comedian seriously, mate. Most of the time, it's Yea Forumsutists or Yea Forumsermin who shitpost like this so I responded with another bait.
Ad Hominens, as predicted... Gosh, you guys are such pathetic low-IQ fucks, sometimes I feel bad for you, being exploited by these big corporations that appeal to your childlike instincts. But then I remember Stan Lee is dead and smile.
Wait are you seriously implying you're Bill Maher?
He looks like someone clicked Randomize in the Skyrim character creation menu.
Realization.
When was the last time a live-action kid's movie was actually good?
Harry Potter was probably the last big hit, before animated movies become the go-to for family friendly shit.
Why do Americans feel the need to make their hobbies and interests these grand statements about who they are? Can't you just enjoy comics and other nerdy shit without being a faggot about it?
You mean pharell "I choose the body who looks like a loli" williams has an opinion on animation.
I mean if the Swiss are going that dark do we really want to see what depths of depravity Germans will take animation?
Maybe they are self aware enough to be like “all we’ll make is WWII movies and amputee porn animation so we’re not going to bother”
Uh.
Heathers?
Wait that wasn't for kids, and in the 80's.
Hm. Don't the MCU films and Disney live action remakes and Star Wars count as kids films? Oh right they're shit.
Christopher Robin wasn't animated I guess.
>don't use ad hominem against me you [list of ad hominem]

>thats_the_joke.png

WHAT?
>muh stereotypes
fuck off
Because it's a trickle down society and regardless of what Bill Maher says the top cream shill for their hobbies and preferences all the time, giving a sense to people down the chain that that's what they're supposed to do. And then the Christfags try to make their own movies like God's Not Dead as some kind of counterculture thing.
If you live in a society without a false perception of social mobility, this sort of thing is a lot less common. Like said, Maher is just appealing to the "refined tastes" of his yuppie audience with this monologue, not some kind of stance on adulthood.
star wars and marvel don't count because they're pg-13 instead of pg
So, Mortal Kombat was PG13 and I saw it when I was 4. And that's like, the perfect kid's film.

Where did this meme even come from anyways?
I don't know why you'd intentionally trash something you're giving an award to so I think he was just being retarded.
And comic books are mainstream enough to get billion dollar blockbusters what's your point
Damn this is some next level retard posting. Have another (you).

Reality
>Can't question anything without bringing up America
I would hate to a third-worlder.
>I would hate to a third-worlder.
I would hate to be educated in America.
I would hate growing up anywhere that isn't a second-world country during a time of industrial poverty, which makes me tougher and smarter than either of you.
Yet all the more irrelevant on the global stage.
They mistook him for Will Ferrell.
At least I know when I'm being conned before my whole life is gone. The Americans, and the "third worlders" (by which you mean Europeans obviously) only realize something is wrong when there's nothing you can do about it. And apparently we're just relevant enough on the global stage to hack the American elections so don't count us out, buddy!
Man those Ametican colleges like Harvard and Princeton are so shit. America's education is so shit that everyone comes over here for education
Dude don't act like you or anyone you know goes to Harvard or Princeton. Or even that they teach anything there other than how to screw over the other 99% uneducated masses, at least talk about Caltech or MIT.
>Man those Ametican colleges like Harvard and Princeton are so shit
Apparently they are according to most Americans that frequent this website.
What's wrong with his face? He kinda looks like an NPC from Oblivion.
Nah, as someone who's more into Yea Forums more than Yea Forums, vidya that's not just the new big thing, like Fortnite or Apex just gets ignored by the masses and pretty much anything that does anything new or original in the medium or has something to say just gets ignored generally. Not to mention vidya is rightfully regarded with derision by most, as most video game writing is hokey as fuck. But then a lot of them take it too far because you don't play most vidya for the writing but for the gameplay, which a lot of people don't seem to 'get'. I've read threads on Yea Forums where anons seemed to evaluate video games through a lens that were heavily biased towards movies and television, which is inherently flawed because video games are a different medium.
Is he black Ezra Miller? What the fuck.
based funimation
Absolutely BTFO!
And if you don't believe me, believe this: being a DBZ fan can get you on the path to impregnating PIC RELATED so you can SLAY ORC FUCKERS together!
I'm not, those are just the highest class of schools. There's a reason, even for way smaller schools, that many internationals come to America for education
and that's a good thing
it's actually quite embarrassing that "artists" spend their life getting good at animation, it's a silly career and women will never love them.
and if the artist is a woman, they'll never have a man love them.
pathetic
>There's a reason, even for way smaller schools, that many internationals come to America for education
Yeah, because exploiting Americans is the one dream that really does comes true in the States.

Why does it looks like air is slowly leaking out of his head?
He's Happy^TM.
How is internationals coming in to America to learn Law, Biz, Pol and Econ so they can easily lord it over the 99% of Americans who don't some kind of testiment to American education? Because secretly, the "dream" that those folks are just like you means you could've been one of them, and it satisfies you to be a slave knowing you could've been the slaver?
That kind of mentality is fucked up. You cherish ignorance because of that delusion that you could've lucked out to benefit from it, were you born on the other side of the hill. It may be a form of mass psychopathy.
in argentina is seen as kiddy crap, a friend of mine came with me to see spiderverse and his mother said that the theather room will be full of little kids in a sort of judgamental way(she was right tho)
Tits are for children too, yet you see grown men playing with them all the time.
I'll make sure to remember that line, thanks user.
Most japanese think cartoons are for children
The truth
The shit you see on Yea Forums is only consumed by like 0.3% of the japanese population
The average japanese national most likely follow their Baseball heroes more
and yet he dresses up like spongebob
I have no fucking idea about here is Aus, tbqh. It seems like people regard it as "kiddy crap" but then i'll have chad tradies i know coming up to me asking me shit like "HEY user, HAVE YOU SEEN HITMAN REBORN!? THAT SHIT IS AWSOME"!
Hilarious when he looks like a cartoon character himself
Maybe IT last year, perhaps?
For kids
So, animation is for children and disgusting hikkis whome don't shower and jerk off over cartoon characters?
Someone should show "Waltz with Bashir" to this faggot.
If medium defined target audience then it would be really hard to make anything. Who get's what? Adults get live action? Children get animation? It's so dumb and arbitrary. Plenty of live action children's content and adult animation, it already exists so saying "animation is for children" is just objectively wrong.
Drawings aren't supposed to move, what's so hard to understand you manchildren? Adults know that drawings can't talk. That's kid-shit!
Now a massive purple man with a massive jaw, that is what a real man can believe in.
Not just japan but most of western world besides the US.
For various reasons the american culture puts high value in realism portrayed in art and works of fiction, and the "real" itself, consequently believing something that's stylized and imaginative as childish, never to be taken seriously.
Problem is the US has been influencial in that regard, so other countries picked that up as well. Due to US' use of the medium as something only for children, marketed as such, and the power it had over worldwide television the concept of animation has for a long time been sunk into the rut for many western countries, preventing many potential artists from exploring art that's either not realistic or some money laundering tool.
Animation is an artform. Art isn't just for a particular group of people, art isn't just for mature people, art isn't just high class paintings that you look at while spouting bullshit in order to raise your social standing. That has never been the point of art.
Art can be good, it can be bad, it can be obscene and disgusting, it can be everything and it's for everybody because it can come from anybody.
Art is true freedom and fuck you all who belittle and mock it.
Like he's got room to talk when he wrote part of this childish song.
All you're doing is telling everyone you consume only kiddie shit in all forms of media. Grow up, manchild.
The Academy didn’t even nominate that for BAF; they put fucking Bolt instead.
He was sarcastic, user. Was that second phrase really not a dead giveaway or can you just not detect sarcasm even in real life?
>Paintings are for manchildren
Cringe
The guy noted the sarcasm, he was counterattacking the implication. I should've maybe gone for a James Cameron movie instead but I haven't even seen Alita yet and anything else would be too dated.
No, he was being an idiot. A cgi filled kiddie movie is still childish.
There haven't been any adults on this fair planet in over a century now. They all died in the trenches.
>plus any woman loses respect for you
>implying
I have massive respect for AstroAnon for introducing me to Tezuka.
Have you had sex with him? I read in an old soviet sexopathology textbook that most women can't get orgasms unless they respect a man, and that this was perfectly normal and healthy sexuality.
No, but I would if I could convince him to dress up as my husbando.
“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
Not to sound butthurt or anything (he’s got a point in some respects), but I guarantee that this man watches Family Guy and South Park, and laughs at all the fart jokes. I’ve seen this type before.
That's not the Bible passage.
It's also not a very convincing quote because the simplest solution that satisfies those conditions is to forget your childhood completely. You won't desire to be grown up because that is a natural state now, you won't fear childishness because you won't remember it, and you will have put it away because it is lost to you.
I enjoyed the momentary void I felt after Anomalisa and it endlessly amuses me how these movies keep being nominated when the people giving out the awards clearly don't watch them.
It's not a riddle, it's CS Lewis.
Never read him. Was more into Lewis Carroll.
Kyrgyzstan, former Soviet republic. I only read comics and watch cartoon when nobody is watching. Like some sort of closet faggot because If my family and coworkers find out, they'll crucify me.
The only time the animation Oscar has been amusing was 2009/10 when they did the faux interviews with the characters.
Its just gradually become a filler award since then, what with Chris Rock insulting voice actors that one year and two comedians drunkenly doing voices to further insult voice actors another year

not sure if bait but
>When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
this was said verbatim, doubt if it’s Pharrell’s actual views but it says a lot about the oscars views.
>black person who's likely not Christian unironically quoting the Bible
Look bud, if you want the soul brother stereotype to die then stop pulling this shit
But colombians are natural born hookers, maybe Venezuelans pretend to be colombians.
PLEASE I BEG YOU
The problem is your beloved anime and manga for adults scene market is too small for the cinematic market. The late night stuff is lucky to get 10k sales as a popular hit and most titles barely penetrate past a 2000 sales to get get a second season
It's a CS Lewis quote you buffoon
anyone have a video of him saying this?
Don't forget he wants to bang the Loli
youtube.com
You know what to be fair he did say there is no need to put childish things away and that these films can embrace us all
The King’s take on the matter:
>Ever since Pixar revamped Disney animation from drawing to digital, its 3-D artifice has also set the dominant style for baby-sitting fare. With few exceptions — such as The Iron Giant, Monster House, Coraline, The Adventures of Tintin, Winnie the Pooh, Paranorman, The Secret of Kells, Kubo and the Two Strings, The Lego Movie, and My Life as a Zucchini — most animated features seek the simple shiny-new-thing response.
>mainstream animation [...] is geared to elicit responses that are no more complex than giggling, blubbering, or technological awe — the dehumanized drive behind Pixar-Apple consumerism.
He's a retard with terrible hats and even worse songs meant to appeal almost exclusively to the lowest common denominator, so his opinion isn't exactly relevant.
look
yeah, Argentina here kiddy crap is stupidly popular even among actual adults here. No surprise tho', we never approached or imported serious animation until Locomotion Channel came around in the 2000s
user, that CS Lewis quote is quoting a bible passage. Otherwise it wouldn't mean anything.
Go to church, nigga.
>photography
I mean, kinda, but I'm sure that's one thing adults would admit to watch
>Pixar-Apple
You know I bet he was the "feels like live action" voter! Make sure to tweet him our thanks guys!
Why can't we enjoy animation without being stomped on? Fuck Pharell Williams, all he's known for was for fucking minions and that stupid ass "woah" thing he did in that interview. What a hypocrite.
Doubt it, he didn’t care for Spider-Verse.
Not only that, only reason he gained popularity was because of Despicable Me.
...Didn't this dork have a SpongeBob themed birthday party at like 40 years old?
Depends. The simpsons (sneed) and family guy, rick and morty etc, are for adults and kids alike. Everything on cn and nick would be for kids yet adults watch them too. I guess its just tradition that animation is considered to children only.
Did Pharrell give up his waifu?
youtube.com
did you even watch the oscars?
I guarantee you he will be one of the many notable faces out there showing his support for the new Lion King movie in a few months because of it's majorly black cast.
Yeah Fritz the Cat and Wizards are family pictures.
Maybe if you paid attention, he later says to NOT put things away and to enjoy these films together.
Bill Maher is an aggravating asshole (that's literally his brand) but Kevin Smith is a manchild I feel no desire to defend.
I'm at a top 50 school (not Harvard or Princeton level but bretty gud) and I feel like I see more Chinese (not Chinese-American) students every year.
They're probably the kids of rich Chinese elites so I feel like they're there because they have the money to pay for the majority of the actual tuition price so the colleges love them.
Why should I care for the opinions of celebrity negro number 9001? I'm just living my life and this faggot only thinks he's high and mighty because the jewish record producers gave him that power and can take it away
Kevin Smith panders to hipsters, Bill Maher panders to yuppies.
You want to fight for a cause? Join team Steve Lieber.
I meet adult Japs daily and a lot of them say they like manga
>Why do Americans feel the need to make their hobbies and interests these grand statements about who they are?
Do you prefer when they make their gender or sexuality their whole personality?
So is pop music
>Happy song guy is saying other people's art is for children
lololololol
Don't forget Lastman
Yeah. Even in rural areas you'll still see people of all types in the manga section. Obviously in the city you'll see more males than females.
Hard to say. I'd say that in Germany animation is generally considered kids stuff, especially when it comes to movies. Lower ranked animation is generally shown around 12pm or earlier and most of the time there is only one screening.
Some examples that pop up are Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Spider-Verse.
If it's a Pixar/Disney or DreamWorks flic, it's a whole different thing for obvious reasons.
Germans used to go fucking nuts over the Simpsons though.
In gook land, despite anime and cartoon industry being big, most of the perception is similar to us.
He was popular for years before that song, for years he made that music for Despicable Me I remember getting tired of hearing him everywhere (because his music was popular it got blasted everywhere and made #1 on a few music video lists, I didnt hate him but hearing the same song over and over again will get to you)
>I'm at a top 50 school (not Harvard or Princeton level but bretty gud) and I feel like I see more Chinese (not Chinese-American) students every year.
I remember always seeing at least a concentrated group of Asian kids at one of my old school, at the college Im currently in youll tend to see one at least in every class (but then again I am in the math and science department). My cousin I do believe went to a top 50 college and I was never near the school buildings but in her on campus apartment there were a few korean channels as part of her standard cable there because the amount of kids from there and surrounding countries were so great.
Well he is a pedo so he should know.
He was talking about childlike wonder and imagination, and to NOT put those things away, because they can lead to the sorts of things you get in the animation category. Pharrell has had a few animated music videos and did the music for Despicable Me btw.
