People don't find it well rounded per se. Voices don't lend themselves to acting and that's a sizable batch of people who vote. -- nm

It's also wrongfully considered less serious of a medium, appealing primarily to children and not worthy of the same level of praise as a "real film" -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 06:57 14
- I agree with this comment. I hate when our local cable company calls all animated movies as "cartoons" as the genre. -- nm - Walt_Disney Dec 11, 07:05 1
  - yeah. an animated film can easily be in any genre. just because most of them are cartoons doesn't make it fair to lump all of them in that category. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:07
- I have a friend that has written extensively on that subject, how Pinnochio is a masterpiece, and Grave of Fireflies is a modern classic - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 06:59 6
  - or Triplets of Bellville, to mentino a personal favorite. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:03
  - Very true about Grave, and Princess Mononoke as well. - Jelly Dec 11, 07:03 4
    - ...and Spirited Away, and at least half of Pixar's output... - TFox Dec 11, 07:05 3
      - Tokyo Godfathers is another incredible animated film. - znufrii Dec 11, 07:05 2
        
        all of Satoshi Kon's films are aces in my book. - Callisto Dec 11, 07:12 1
        
        that's another one. although I liked Godfathers better -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:15

  - To be fair up until the 60's most animated films and shorts were for adults....Flintstones was for adults and the original Fantasia or Snow White.... - Walt_Disney Dec 11, 07:08 1
    - Walt didn't make movies for children, he made movies for everyone -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 07:11
  - but that speaks only to the content of those films, not the character of the medium itself. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:01
  - Same is true with comedies...but more of them get nominated -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 07:00
