>>109117649OK, I'm assuming you're what...mid-20s? That seems to be the median age around these parts. That would put you around possibly College age, and I know a lot of kids enjoy watching the stuff on Cartoon Network late at night while high. That's a totally different thing, though.
What I'm talking about is completely sober adult individuals watching low-budget trash cartoons for kids. How do you focus your mind on watching a cartoon featuring child characters in childish situations all while having very low production values and amateurish acting? I can understand somebody of a very young age not knowing any better enjoying it, but I can't for the life of me understand how people into their 20s (and 30s in some cases!) can bring themselves to enjoy it.
I can watch a Disney film featuring child-like characters because the storytelling and animation are superbly done. Even if the whimsy fantasy is obviously aimed towards the young, there's enough skill and craft being put on screen that people of an older age can still appreciate it? But the stuff you're talking about? I can't even fathom it.
The benefit of animation is that you can do things that you can't do in real life. In some ways, animation is an exaggeration of reality and expression. It's better than reality in some ways. But when it's so low budget and lacking any kind of merit, artistically, you might as well just listen to audio books from actual good writers. And when it's aimed at children, there isn't even any kind of themes that an adult can relate to. You'd have to suffer from Peter Pan-syndrome to enjoy it, honestly.
