It's not that I don't feel.
It's just there's certain types of animation that I don't like as many.
I'm not an animation snob.
I like high-class computer-generated animation.
The more artistic you get with your animation, the more I'm kind of like, I'm not into it.
It's overwhelming.
The reality is if...
Like, this movie is made really for people who have slightly undeveloped brains like kids who can't really see it, right?
Slightly undeveloped... Kids don't have slightly undeveloped brains.
The in-theater Transformers?
I know it has a narrative, but first of all, that wasn't a diss to kids.
That was saying that that's what it was made for.
Now, if the kids reject it, then the kids reject it.
But the reality of it is like a lot of these movies that we're talking about, Mario does something different here.
The trick of an animated movie now is that the movie itself has to figure out how to appeal to children and then some adults.
And the way that they normally do this is to give kids all the stuff that kids need in a movie, which is also a good story.
I'm not saying it's not.
But then also give adults something that they can latch on to.
So any movie that's about—any kids movie or animated movie that's about the search for destiny—
which The Incredibles is essentially about somebody knowing who they are and then having to re-figure it out when family and all that stuff takes over.
