"Animation is not a genre for kids. It's a medium for art, it's a medium for film, and I think animation should stay in the conversation." Guillermo Del Toro

Excellent quote!

This is what makes animation appealing to audiences of ALL ages and not simply a child’s medium - the attention to detail and realism. I don’t understand the assumption of many that “cartoons” (animation) are just for kids. It does a great disservice to the artists and that thinking is a sign of a lack of imagination.

It IS primarily a visual medium that’s meant to entertain and impart good lessons on children. It’s asinine to claim otherwise. With the exception of animation strictly aimed at adults like those from Japan, every creative working on animation is PRIMARILY concerned with serving a younger audience. It’s bullshit to pretend otherwise. Of course that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t like for adults to enjoy the content and they even cater to them, but only to an extent. Because again, if children can’t consume a creative choice (say too risqué and adult) then that choice doesn’t end up on the final product. It just doesn’t take away from your enjoyment to admit those truths.

@@frankie4855 This ignores the fact that many of the classic “cartoons” of the 30’s-50’s were not originally directed at kids of the time but adults. These were shown prior to many major motion pictures of the day alongside Movietone news reels and the subjects and jokes were targeted at the adult audiences much of which completely went over the heads of children that might be in attendance.

@@glennac What’s the most successful, most iconic and beloved animation? It’s that of Disney (the classics more so). Along with other animation content from other places that’s also for children. You have a medium, that is ALWAYS at its most SUCCESSFUL when it’s aimed PRIMARILY at children. So, you could say that inherently, the DNA of the animation art form lends itself at its best when the audience is kids, not adults.

@@frankie4855 I think you confuse correlation for causation. If Studio execs think the same as you do, they will not risk with animated movies for adult only audience so there will never be a SUCCESSFUL Hollywood adult animation movie, because it would never be made. The very fact that you had to exclude anime from Japan is proof of that. However it's something that creators have been pushing against for a very long time. Most of the SUCCESSFUL animation movies are made so both young and mature audience could enjoy them. Just because something is made accessible to children, doesn't mean they are the PRIMARILY audience. There are also more animations targeted at young adults. "Arcane", "Spider-man - Into/Across the spider-verse", "Castlevania", "Invincible". If the young audience keeps watching animation, the market for adult animation would keep growing. I would even argue that the recent photo-realistic remakes of Disney classics are PRIMARILY targeted at audience of adults who are too embarrassed to watch the animations they grew up with. "The Lion King"(2019) grossed $1.6 Billion, it's entirely 3D animation.

"They must be prepared for the next movement..." while showing a shot from the "Be Prepared" sequence from The Lion King (4:43). This is the top-shelf content that I come here to see!

This is incredibly interesting! I never knew any of this about animation and i've been watching disney and cartoons for years.

Well done StudioBinder. My love of animation from cartoons to comic books has always been from a heavy fascination and appreciation with the art of the use of perspective and scale. As well as not only does it give you the freedom to express cool ideas, but it's provided the best uses of comedy and drama in cinema. And it's provided some of the best scenes cinematography wise. I have forgotten most of Pinocchio. It was never my one of favored Disney classic. Not that it is a good movie. But it just takes a backseat to all the other to me. But seeing the scene where the kid turns into a donkey and having him call out to his mother while you see the silhouette of it just caught me off guard as "they really had that scene in a kids movie?" On the other side, I've become a growing fan of anime that was kicked off because of your videos about Hayao Miyazaki. And there's a scene from a movie I haven't seen yet, Ponyo, of a girl running on top of waves and the waves are cresting like whales. Everything about that short clip is so cool to me. Just the idea of her running on top of waves for one. And the way the girl has the fast motion of her legs the way kids look when they're running. Then she goes into that quick hurdle jump. The secondary motion in her hair and clothes. And then the pan and change of perspective to be behind her. That one scene not only makes me want to watch the movie, but it's good enough to play on a loop as an art piece. The art of animation (not just the graphics or drawing, but the art of telling a story with animation) is probably going to go through a period of taking a back seat, or my bigger fear is almost disappearing, because I'm expecting AI to like many forms of tech lead to an influx of people without skill making things where before they needed skill to make. (auto focus for cameras for example) And it's going to show in the quality.

Awesome video like always. I wonder when are we getting a video about music editing in movies, or anything related to sounds.

If people always state that animation is use to "keep their children at bay" only, then, you've gotta keep your voice heard and burn it in their ears that is NOT a kids medium only!

The funny thing is techniques created by the anime industry used since the 70s, are being implemented very recently in some animations in the West but in a very basic way like Spiderverse and some people say "innovation", the only innovation I saw in Spiderverse compared to the anime industry was, actually I can't think of any, maybe the constant change of effects on the Character, but the dramatic changes of colors Scene to Scene were already used in anime

noodle would be proud

The lack of EXAGGERATION is why so many live action adaptations are dull. One Piece on Netflix recently made some big strides in the right direction due to the abilities of the characters. Studios need to look more into fan-made live action adaptations which happen to stay truer to the source material while not ruining it by being too real.
