alright internet lets clear something up

this is “children’s media”

this is also “children’s media”

but these

are not children’s media

these are family entertainment. they are meant to appeal to the widest audience possible.

not just children.

the. widest. audience. possible.

teenagers. young adults. adults. your grandma drinking ovaltine.

all. ages.

this is why Disney is so successful. this is why they are the adored media giant that they are. Walt Disney himself even said that he doesn’t make movies just for children, but for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty, and this is still the company’s modus operandi today.

so no, you cannot dismiss criticism of any of these movies on the basis that they are “children’s media”, and that therefore discussions surrounding them are pointless. not a valid argument. get out of my inbox.

Also applies to Dreamworks and other animation studios that work in these categories.
Very important.
VERY IMPORTANT.
