Why Do Adults Love Animated Movies
You go home from work. You are tired, and want to sit in front of the TV, watching something fun. Your children want the same. What is better than an animated film
Both children and most adults love animation. Of course, there are animated movies that are directed specially to adults. 1 So, why do adults like cartoons so much
They have well-written characters
There are plenty of reasons. First and foremost, a lot of them are really good. 2 Screenwriters, designers, programmers and musicians are all working together to bring the best outcome to the big screen. And usually, they succeed.
Animated films have well-written characters facing complicated situations. Sometimes the scripts are even better than those in adult films. So, it comes as no surprise that animated films appeal to grown-ups as well.

We love heroes
Almost every cartoon has something to do with the journey of a character. A journey towards adulthood, or towards finding oneself, or succeeding in a quest. 4 A hero that overcomes all obstacles trying to find true meaning and happiness in his or her existence Plenty of times, the characters in animated films are bigger-than-life and that’s what we need in order to believe in humans again.
They are treats for adults
Animated films are made for children, but sometimes filmmakers decide to put something for adults as well: Shrek, for example, has scenes with a sense of humor that is addressed mainly to grown-ups. 5 And it’s a really successful practice.
A. They bring out the child in us.
B. Anything can happen in childhood.
C. And who doesn’t love a hero like that
