Weird Thinkers

Did you know that Professor Xavier survived in the last X-Men movie?

Oh, and this does look like a good cartoon.

Hey Nick, us in the Animation Biz don’t like to refer to this Art Form as Cartoons - we find it highly offensive

Really, when I first started working in the Animation biz, I used the word cartoon, and people really took offense to it. I was corrected and told that they prefer the word Animation. - Whatever!

Robert: Did you ever find out why it’s offensive?

Oh, and it looks like a great animation… somehow that sounds weird…

They think of cartoons like the smurfs, or anything that would be a 1/2 hour or less. Geared towards little kids.

But anything that you would see that is a feature film, such as Lion King, Toy Story, they would never, ever, call it a cartoon. They refer to them as Animated Movie|Film, or “Feature Animation”. Even the division was called “Walt Disney Feature Animation”, and “DreamWorks Animation”.

No matter how you slice it, it’s still a cartoon - just longer.

Man, I love the animated X-Men. Can’t stand the humans!
