Disney and Pixar animated films demonstrate that animation isn’t “only for kids,” as both youngsters and adults can appreciate it. These films incorporate life lessons and provide viewers of all ages the chance to reevaluate their methods and outlooks. One of the most significant lessons from The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021) was to pursue your passions and hobbies.
However, certain animated films and television programmes, like Family Guy, South Park, or BoJack Horseman, are aimed towards an older audience. Even while some of these adult animated TV series feature graphic violence, others make jokes about politics, pop culture, or ludicrous situations in an indirect or overt manner.
