American Animated Films Are Still Just a Genre

 This article was a little more difficult to critique because it is really about something we already know. I think a lot of us already realized that most American animated films are for younger children. Despite this, I will try my best at making an acceptable blog article for this week.

Hm :/
  •  I still see all American animated movies as the same, but apparently that's not the case. They can be separated into different "classes" or whatever. "The only similarity between them is that they weren't produced via Life-Action". Bah humbug.
  • While reading this article I had to stop and think for a moment. I noticed a particular statement, "...PG at worst". That seemed like an odd statement. Actually, I didn't even know the difference between G and PG. So I went to this cool place http://www.mpaa.org/ratings/what-each-rating-means and found my answer. There is practically no difference after all!
  • Usually adult animated films die at the box office :/ Well then. Someone should probably do something about it because I doubt that it was the fact that they were meant for adults, but that their story lines were poop :P

Judgment time (Muah ha ha ha ha)
  • I have always been a fan of the animated genre. Doesn't matter to me if the movie is meant for children (though I am practically a child anyway). I can't really give any one reason. I suppose I just love how it looks and the storylines behind them (which might explain why I also enjoy My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic). Never to old to relearn the basics I guess!
  • How could you not like Meet The Robinsons, Hayao Miyazaki?! That was some quality entertainment! Well I loved that movie. Hmph!
  • Ooo, we've got a few badasses over here. Apparently some animated movies are PG!! Tsk Tsk Tsk
If you don't mind me asking
  •  How are the animated films really different?  Truthfully, all I learned from this article is that some people don't like to mix their peas and their mashed potatoes despite the fact that they are all going to the same place in the end. :P
