Americans sure love this didactic and preachy stuff, huh?

It's easy to make that mistake though, mods do such a shit job managing this board that everything's fair game.

It's a children's movie, which have made their moral points obvious since fables for children existed. Because their intended audience is children with roughly (your) IQ. You're brown.

The kid is too precocious and good-hearted. Not an interesting character

Classic of animation.

Other than being a bit mischievious, the kid doesn't have any real flaws. He also doesn't have any character arc/growth to speak of.

Warner Bros did a better job with the animation of Space Jam, which came out 3 years before

This is too simple by comparison. No shading effects.

Americans didn't love it considering it flopped at the box office.

Never seen this movie. The milftoon comic is pretty good though. Or maybe it was Pandoraโ€™s box? Idk I canโ€™t remember but itโ€™s pretty old by now so itโ€™s been a while since I last saw it.

They are too likeable. Barely any flaws, and that makes them sorta boring. It seems that Brad Bird realized this too, because the characters from Incredibles and Ratatouille are way more flawed.

Iron Giant and Incredibles take place in the same universe.

This was so good and the style still beats most things today. Everything nowadays has that family guy looks to it and it fucking sucks. Even the new king of the hill has been family guy'd a bit. Shit fucking sucks.

Iron Giant is definitely tepid and antiseptic. I wouldn't say the same about Incredibles or Ratatouille tho
