WHOLY SHIT GUYS OVER 1000 FAVS! THANK YOU!
I made this stamp because often I get told that animation is something solely meant for children.
I, personally, still see animated films in theaters more often than I see live action ones. Some people fail to see that it's just another way of telling a story, not a dumbed down version for children.
Animated movies can tackle very real issues as seriously as any medium. Furthermore, the conflicts can be taken very seriously. Films like The Secret of NIMH, Watership down, Grave of the fireflies, Felidae and more recently Pixar's Up are very serious movies, clearly not meant solely for children.
How to train your dragon was produced by Dreamworks animation. It is loosely based on the novel of the same name by Cressida Cowell

I hate the idea animation is for kid sonly.. especially the people whos ay it typically either are butthurt morons who know nothing, or praise animated moves as if it doesn't counts.
Animation is freaking art, it can be more then silly comedy and it can damn well be allowed to show more mature things with out having to make it okay for kids. As well as not allways have to have comedy... seriously most of the new cartoons have been comedies. I love humor, but what says animation only has to be silly?

My mom is 42 and she's obsessed with Disney movies. I still kind of like them too (but kill me before you tell her that...)

God, it annoys me so bad when people say "animated movies are made for kids". I just want to slap them!

Those people who say we're too old to watch cartoons are absolute hypocrites. They think it's wrong for grown ups to watch kids shows, yet they're alright with little kids watching adult shows and reality shows.

I don't know what idiots think that animation is just for kids, when it is not. That's just like someone stupidly saying that Disney is for infants which is a load of BULL! Disney and non Disney animation are for everybody of all ages.

Yeah...BTW, I love how you chose the background. I really like animation.

Not to mention that there are shows like Family Guy, the Simpsons, Futurama, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, South Park, and so on, which are animated, but most definitely NOT for children.

Now that you mention it, I think the reputation of animation being considered a children's medium initially came into full swing sometime in the late 60s or so, pretty much for many reasons. For one, the crumbling of the studio system discontinued cartoon shorts being bundled with main features in theaters, along with the increasing prevalence in television sets in households. Secondly, full-quality animation was considered labour intensive, which could be a legitimate reason why many television cartoons made then had limited animation. Eventually, many ratings from those cartoons came from children. As a result, children were typically expected not to care about animation quality issues, so as a result, producers of animated shows began writing down to their presumed audience and continued to do so over the next couple of decades, and this concept somehow might've been exaggerated in the 80s with those so-called half-hour toy commercials. The problem somehow didn't end until the Disney Renaissance kicked in, but even then, films from that era were considered family films, meaning they were kid-appropriate, so despite all the edgy cartoons that were cranked out, including the ones you mentioned as examples, it's been pretty difficult to get rid of a concept that many people have been stuck with for the past fifty years or so because it's been so deeply ingrained into their minds to the point where it may be difficult for them to be convinced otherwise.

Yeah. ^w^ Like, Looney Tunes originally started out as an adult cartoon.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sure many generations of young'uns enjoying those shorts were pretty unaware of that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, When it started out, it contained sex. So maybe not.
But then again, when I was in kindergarten, I'd watch the Simpsons and be perfectly fine, because I didn't understand it.

Well, I enjoy much more watching cartoon than movies and series. But I like some live-action films too.
(Sorry for the bad english)

When I talk about "live-action films", I'm talking about classic movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, not these things like Disney Channel and Nickelodeon make instead of Cartoon shows.

Space Jam is also a nice movie too.

I completely agree I love animation they are better than most live action films(especially those damn sitcoms... the only one I like is Mr Bean)

Some animations (Most animes) Are NOT meant for children. And believe me.

My favourite movies are animated. It's not that all live action movies are boring (most I've seen are) but I don't really get them and/or they aren't really interesting to me. Every time someone tells me animated movies are for babies I want to tell them to shut up.Β Β

Here, here, I hate it when people say oh it's just a kids film, for example I hate, hate, HATE, that way people treated ROTG, saying is was soft and for babies when it was anything but. Β

So TRUTHFUL Β I hate when some members of my family are telling me that animations are for little kids, grrr

I couldn't agree more, I too watch more animated movies then I watch live action. If anything, I Think Animation is better because it has no limits when it comes to telling a story. Sure some stories are better suited for live action, but my point still stands :3

I see animated movies more then live actions too, it's just I love watching them. It's not just for kids!

True,
I hate when alot of teens don't like animated movies or animation, because they think it's made for little kids -.-

Oh and don't forget stuff like adventure time and gravity falls, (even though they are waaayyy tamer than other stuff)they also can be dark and serious

I also have seen (and read) Watership Down,The Secret of NIMH,and the redwall series and they are not that kid friendly.

oh I know that animation is not just for kids. especially most on youtube.

I personally LOVE seeing animated movies, even though I "should" be past the past the age for watching those sorts of movies, as the unwritten rule of the world states. But no, you're completely correct in stating that animation is not just for little kids. While the plot and content may be dumbed down a bit because of younger viewers, this does not mean that it should be immediately deemed as "for kids only". I've seen A LOT of adults enjoy many animated movies such as HTTYD, Up, Finding Nemo, and many others (this is also true for certain T.V shows. I have a paster and his kids who absolutely adore the Avatar: The Last Airbender series

I agree, who says you have to be a kid to appreciate good animations.

It's very sad when today's media forgets that when Snow White premiered in 1937, "All of Hollywood's stars turns up for a cartoon."Β And not to many stars in Hollywood were children at the time.

YES. People who think that animation is JUST for kids were obviously ripped away from liking animation as a kid and believed the words they were told that they are trying to spew to us now.

OMG, I love this! Animation was made by ADULTS, and can be enjoyed by all age groups

So true. I love these kinds of movies.
If only my friends knew this. Some of them are all like "unless its PG13 its a baby movie" and then in my head I'm like "F*** THAT!!!"

When I watch animated things, which are my favourite, my mother says that I'm too mature and old for that sh!t. That it's for children. So thank you for making this, it really lifted my spirits.

Princess Mononoke One of THE MOST serious animated movies I have ever seen. and one of the most violent, as in limbs and heads flying off violent.
Weird thing is...I'm always eating dinner whenever I watch those parts...and my biggest reaction is a wince or blurtung out "oooh!"
