    Remember that the people making kids movies today are the ones who were the kids watching those fucked up movies from back in the day.

    That, to me, says two things:

    1. What the hell were our parents’ generation trying to do to us, and
    2. The people making kids movies today are trying to save the younger generation from their trauma.

      The people that animate and come up with character designs didn’t choose to make the movie they’re making. The studio decided that based off of market research and focus group testing. I’m sure the artists and animators who worked on Trolls would have loved to do something maybe a little less baby and a little more “kid-edgy”.

        I wonder if what you say could’ve applied to the people who made the movies when we were kids. Now that’s frightful to think about. 😂
