I said in another comment that there’ll always be demand for lower quality kids’ media, and that’s okay. Adults don’t need to enjoy every piece of children’s media.
Sure (also I can’t think of any examples) - but than again the question becomes more complex and subjective: what is a good kids movie. But really often kids movie is used as an excuse for bad execution, art, storytelling, acting etc. - while I think kids deserve at least the same quality as adults maybe even better - since media has much more influence on children than on adults.
while I think kids deserve at least the same quality as adults maybe even better
When we start buying that kids’ media enough that it’ll bring in as much money as other demographics’ media, and we choose to buy it based on its artistic merit and quality, then we’ll see more of that change.
But I think there’s always going to be a demand for “kids’ stuff” that’s lower quality, and I think that’s okay. Adults don’t need to enjoy every piece of kids’ media that exists.
And I just disagree that kids stuff means that it should be lower quality. I think it’s just lazy. And while I understand why people are producing bad content - I don’t have to like it or applaud them for it.

A good movie for kids can be boring for adults sometimes.
There are plenty of “kids” movies and TV that are excellent for adults, too.
Listing a few:
This is not an exhaustive list, but you get the point.
Yes, I know that. And I knew it before, too…
I guess people hopped on the downvote train before they got to the word “sometimes” in my comment, lol
No, I disagree with the “sometimes”.
I don’t follow. You’re disagreeing with the possibility than an adult would find a good children’s movie to be boring? Lol
Yes.
Lol…I don’t know what to tell you. It happens.
Even if I thought good pizza is enjoyable to anybody, I’m not going to disagree with the idea that someone could possibly dislike good pizza.
Sure but it doesn’t have to be like that. Shrek is prime example that you can make a movie both groups enjoy
I didn’t say that it does, lol

There’s always demand for heroin too. Demand doesn’t mean it’s good.
So there we have it. The two ends of the spectrum of movies made for children: Heroin and Shrek.
This is like comparing paintings to the Mona Lisa. Shrek is the crowning achievement of our civilization.
Agreed, Shrek is phenomenal but there’s a lot of great films proving adults and children can enjoy the same story even if for different reasons.
The Goonies
Princes Bride
Kubo And The Two Strings
Song of the Sea
The Breadwinner
That’s just from the top of my head. There’s plenty.

I don’t think you’re disagreeing with me, because I haven’t said that… lol
