This presentation discusses cartoons and animated films for both children and adults. It begins by questioning why cartoons are often disregarded as just for children, then provides 5 main reasons commonly cited: colorful images, simple plots, fantastical elements, fictional characters, and sometimes "stupid" characters. However, it also explores how animated films have developed to include more mature themes targeted at adults and teenagers through more complicated plots, realistic characters, and sensitive subject matter. Several examples of acclaimed adult-oriented animated films are discussed that have received critical praise and awards for tackling philosophical, psychological, and political issues through the medium of animation. The presentation argues that both children's and adult cartoons each have their place and value in entertainment
