We talk about adult cartoons and foreign cartoons all the time negroid

You can have
>raunchy comedies full of shock value swearing and gore
>pretentious foreign arthouse films
>nostalgia wank worthy children’s content with a puddle’s worth of depth that you can overanalyze to hell and back, to let you pretend you have critical thinking skills when really you are just trying to prolong or relive your own childhood

Those are the options.

those are idiot kids on twitter and reddit, here are some adult and foreign animation recommendations so you can shut up
>Mary and Max (2009) Australia

>Memoir of a Snail (2024) Australia
>Boogie (2009) Argentina
>Lascars (2009) France

>>149329403
Also - El Superbeasto (2009)

>>149329403
3 of those are on Tubi.

>>149329332
>all ages cartoons that are deeply embarrassed that they're primarily for children
>children cartoons
fixed that last one for you

For some of these, that robot actually has a pretty good point.

A couple of them you could even reskin as live action, throw in an onscreen death or some sideboob, and you got yourself perfectly respectable “adult” movies.

>>149329303
Nah he's talking about like the "respect animation!" fuckers on twitter who constantly post Coraline, Spiderverse and Puss In Boots to say "animation is for adults too!"
Thing about a lot of these people is, you remember that one film critic the internet took a fucking piss on for trying to paint the Seven Samurai as some kind of pretentious longwinded arthouse film because she didn't have the attention span to sit through the dialogue scenes or the black-and-white color? But sang the praises of the Avengers movies which were basically just a multi-part Seven Samurai with superheroes and a really high CGI budget?
They're that. Animation is a perfectly legitimate medium that can be used for great visual storytelling from both a child or an adult perspective.
But the claim needs to be brought forth by people who respect filmmaking as an art form in general. Not people who can't watch anything without pretty colors and tons of stimulation.
The reality is that there are people with actual fucking ADHD who can watch and Akira Kurosawa or Sergio Leone by simply pausing and coming back to it as they go. Neither of whom are arthouse but who aren't extreme stimulation either. So it makes me also feel like part of it is that the people in this crowd genuinely can't handle more tense plots or complex characters with more serious flaws.

>>149329403
Anomalisa is so good

>>149329403
Memoir of a Snail stood out like an adult in a kiddy pool.

>>149329437
I wasn’t even gonna put key jangling kiddie cartoons that have no amount of adult appeal on the list. But I guess they still count as animation, so, fair point including them.

It seems like they don't like slow media in general. Probably just provincial tastes, those cave in over time.

Artsy shit has an exposure problem owing to the dial between strong sentiment and novel experience being incredibly difficulty to center. When it happens, you get revolutionary works. Otherwise, art slop vs industry slop.

>Me when I find out that the Looney Tunes movie failed but shit like the live action Lilo and Stich made more.

A lot of good recommendations here. I'll also throw in The Tragedy of Man (Az ember tragédiája) from 2011. Also remembered people here were talking positively about Mars Express a little while ago. That one's a scifi thriller that came out in 2023.

>>149329601
Those types seem to be more interested in generating engagement and having their laziness validated. You definitely can find this kind of attitude everywhere.

Animation IS Cinema... FOR BABIES!

The distributor that bought it for peanuts and spent $0 on marketing made a tidy profit though?

>>149334866
YES really!

>>149334340
I liked it but it should've been a bit shorter.
>>149334910
It barely made back it's budget Anon, which doesn't matter because WB shut down the animation studio lot.

>>149329860
This was legitimately the best Best Animated Oscar lineup in well over a decade, be fair. None of those movies was genuinely bad and only one was sequel slop, and it rightfully lost.

Nothing is cinema.
Name me a single good movie. Just one.
You can't because they're all literally just flashing images, there to distract people like dangling keys distract toddlers.

In all things comics are the problem at the root.

Every day I pray some some parent shows it to their children under the guise of "cutesy movie about cats" just for the hell of it.
He or she will be extremely based for doing so.
