I’d say “big kids” because I do sort of enjoy the stigma that animation still has about not being serious and because the connotation of “adults” is a bit unclear at best. Anywho The Onion AV club recently put out a list of their top 15 animated films<\/a> for grown ups. I’ve seen about 5 of them and am interested in seeing a few of the others given the descriptions. Personally I find that animation can be a great stylistic choice for many films as it can allow for something beyond the mise-en-scene of typical cinematography. I would think of how Linklater used cartoon images in thought bubbles while some of his characters were waxing philosophical in Waking Life as an example of something that animation allows. I don’t know about telling typically dramatic stories in the form of animation as it seems like that extraordinary element is not used. Of course I don’t really care of melodrama in any form so my distaste for some cartoons that can more easily be placed into such a genre has nothing to do with them being animation. That said I would not feel compelled to watch something just because it is animated. But I digress. One movie I think they missed is The Brave Little Toaster<\/a>. I saw this when I was a kid but that said I think this one has some adult like themes in terms of what is happening. Also An American Tail <\/a>seemed a bit more serious in tone at times aswell. Who knows it is possible that this list in seeking to find “adult” animation simply wrote off the mainstream producers of animation such as Disney. That’s cool I guess a good list needs parameters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
