Probably starting in the sixties kids were portrayed as the smart ones and adults, particularly dads were shown as stumbling idiots. Quite a change from “Father Knows Best.”
I have not watched a Hollywood movie in over 10 years..
Watched a few old ones that are classics, but nothing new in 10+ years...I have no interest in them or the misfits that direct and produce that shit.
I think people are giving these guys too much credit. The writers always reflect “their world.” The writers and directors of these movies/cartoons are younger, liberal, and disproportionately LGBT. Since they are much more “out” in today’s society, they write through their eyes.
Most parents are younger than us old folks, and they dont seem phased by this stuff either.
I think it’s unfortunate that the younger folks simply don’t know how to write—instead focusing on short videos and “influencers.” Much of this can be blamed on parents who are barely out of their adolescent years and others who are generally absent due to two parents working and children being raised in day care factories.
An hour and 12 minutes video?
As an adult I like and appreciate very well done animation.
The first Shrek movie had some of that, and there was enough heart in it and enough to laugh with.
I walked out of the 2nd Shrek movie.
The character Fiona (Shreks love interest) was getting a gift (i forget the giver and why). The gift turne out to be a thong. To me it wss a disgusting totally out of place thing to put in a movie supposedly made for little kids. That was it. I never saw another Shrek movie after that.
