Pixar director alum Lee Unkrich politely shut down the debate about animated/Pixar movies being only for kids.
Director Lee Unkrich has disputed a longstanding perception of his 2017 Pixar movie, Coco. Unkrich is a regularly featured name for Pixar movie credits, having previously co-directed Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo before spearheading Toy Story 3 solo. Coco was a major commercial and critical success for the animation studio, with the movie praised especially for its representation of Mexican culture and themes of familial bonds.
Pixar director alum Lee Unkrich has spoken out against the misconception that his 2017 Best Animated Feature winner is a kid's movie. In a series of Twitter exchanges, Unkrich diplomatically argues that his work and animated films are more broadly distinct from stories intended primarily for children. While his stance is unequivocal and resolute, he handles the subject politely and in good faith with those he's directly engaging and users following the discourse.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY "This is a very hot-button topic for me. There is an unfortunate lack of respect for animation as a universal storytelling medium - on par with live action - and that barely improved in the 25 years I worked at Pixar".
Attitudes towards animated movies have long dismissed them as entertainment for the youngest demographic, as far back as Disney's debut in 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Despite the Disney Renaissance of the late 1980s and early 1990s, as well as the emergence of Pixar in the late 1990s , the medium has never irreparably broken the barrier of this perception.
There are strong indications, however, that such attitudes are gradually diminishing in favor of a more nuanced appreciation for animation as a medium for audiences, both young and old. The 90s marked a significant step forward in this regard, not just thanks to modern Disney classics like Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, but non-Disney productions like The Prince of Egypt and The Iron Giant.
