’The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

It's not that I don't feel.

’The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

It's just there's certain types of animation that I don't like as many.

The Ringer-Verse
’The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

I'm not an animation snob.

The Ringer-Verse
’The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

I like high-class computer-generated animation.

’The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Instant Reactions | The Midnight Boys

The more artistic you get with your animation, the more I'm kind of like, I'm not into it.

It's overwhelming.

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.
