>all of those are for kids
Nice examples you got there...
Lincoln Hall
Yes, but only because 99% of animation is puerile
Hudson Diaz
hypothetically yes but I'm not sure if I agree with the examples.
Eli Russell
Yes and I have been saying this for years as one of the many reasons Best animated feature at the Academy Awards is bullshit.
Hudson Clark
Is he right?

Xavier White
Strictly speaking, yes. However, this is also like the fifth video which boils down to "Film companies need to try harder" and it's a bit repetitive at this point.
Brody Hall
Now make a list that includes movies made for an audience older than 12
Logan Foster

Maybe when it stops being true, people will stop harping about it.
Ryan Lee
It not being a genre isn't a reason for that though. No other awards are broken up by genre.
Dylan Robinson
Animation is a medium, used to express a genre.
Jose Howard
Of course not! The two animation genres are:
Disney
Obscure foreign movies
Henry Jones
>Not Disney and Dreamworks
Ryan Baker
Let's be honest, Dreamworks and every studio that came before are just Disney-clones that try to make themselves "edgier"
Aiden Lee
funny how it started as a disney clone, but disney kinda became a dreamworks clone with all the 3d CGI
Liam Perez
I'd argue it still is, or rather the animation industry is just one long game of copycat for whoever is at the top at the moment. Which is usually Disney.
James Turner
If you define genre as a set of audience expectations, then kind of. Nobody expects mature themes in animation nowadays.
Jason Collins
>Nobody expects mature themes in animation nowadays.
Not with that attitude!
Jackson Collins
"Animation" means all animation from all times and places, not just America.
Hudson Price
>”animation is an art form, not a genre”
>makes an animated sequel that’s safer and more kiddie than the original

>a western needs to be in the old west.
false a western can be in modern day.
Adam Adams
Animation is a technique within the medium of film, much like television is a format within the medium of film. People are fucking clueless and uncultured.
Austin Robinson
no country for old men is a fantastic western set in like the 70s
hell, i've seen cool westerns set in the future
Jayden Hernandez
All of those could fit under "comedy" with maybe the exception of Caroline.
