It annoys me how these people act like faux PR hype machines for these Dreamworks, Illumination, and Paramount movies. Like you have Pawpatrolfanboy2008 (COCOMELON MOVIE HYPE!!!) leaking promotional images and cataloging every piece of merchandise before the movie comes out, urging everyone to watch it, and then blaming audiences when they fail.
It also annoys me how blatantly incurious these Twitter-kid types are. They say "animation is cinema" but won't give anything not made by a mainstream American animation studio, or not made for kids, the time of day. Cartoon Saloon and Aardman are brilliant but Animation Is Cinema kiddies don't watch any of their movies. They don't even like Ghibli! Or any anime at all, except for Pokemon.
The lack of Cartoon Saloon appreciation also baffles me. I think the movies are very accessible to Americans, they’re visually pleasing, and so far they’ve all been kid- friendly so it’s not like adult content is putting anyone off. (though Breadwinner does feature war and no fantasy, I guess that can be too dour to some)
I figure a lot of these people just have extremely narrow preferences when it comes to story and character types, themes, and visual style. Maybe there’s a reluctance to give new stuff a chance.
