Cartoon Movie: 5 Distinctive Feature Projects For Younger Audiences
We’re rounding off our preview coverage of Cartoon Movie by looking at what the event holds for children and families.
For all the talk of the rise of adult animation, the majority of feature projects remain targeted at younger audiences. That’s true in the U.S. but also in Europe: at this year’s Cartoon Movie, less than a third of projects are categorized as “adult.”
But then animation for younger viewers is far from a monolithic category. The sheer variety of tones, visual styles, and subject matter among this year’s projects refutes any ideas that family animation is a “genre” and challenges American animated features to become as diverse as this.
