Avatar is 60% CGI, according to the Academy's guidelines to constitute an animated movie you need for it to be at least 75% animated (yes, Lego Movie not getting nominated because it had that one scene is total bullshit)

>what seperates something for adults from something for kids?
It's either boring for kids (without being boring for adults), or innapropriate.

Ah yes, Jon Favreau, the artiste behind Elf, Zathura and that episode of Friends where he fights Tank Abbott.

This pile of shit is helmed by Favreau, who also worked on Jungle Book
>Dumbo was made by Tim Burton
Why would they bring in big names like that to do this shit? Why are they wasting money instead of hiring an indie sweetheart with a single acclaimed movie who will do the job for cheap, will be easy to push around and can be pressured to take the blame in case the movie flops, like every other studio does?
I just don't understand.

I'll play devil's advocate and say he's right, in a way. It isn't that animation is inherently childish, but the lion king's on the nose, theatrical method of acting is pretty surface level, the designs are aesthetic but nothing really beyond that, and a lot of characters only serve as vehicles that IS childish. I don't think audiences have anything against stylized art, but its all in the presentation. Most animation, even mature or general audience animation, is presented in a very obvious childish way.

>Disney has already planned ahead and won’t run The Lion King for best animated film, instead pushing it for a visual effects Academy Award, thus leaving a clear path for Frozen 2 and Toy Story 4 to make unimpeded Oscar runs.
Nah, fuck Disney!

Because people remember Tim Burton's good films and thik he's still a good director, therefore what he makes must be good. Worked with Alice.
