One of society’s greatest failings is how we undervalue media geared towards children when some of the best storylines, characters, and even music scores come from such movies and books for the “kids.”
Adult media has the privilege of using harsh words and depicting even harsher scenes, but children media has to get creative when conveying the same tones. It must share the same sentiments of its counterpart yet must do so in a way that can be understood by all ages.
How to train your dragon, prince of Egypt, Percy Jackson, avatar the last airbender, and I can keep going.
I wonder how different the world would look if we stopped believing “children” to be synonymous with “inferior” when the only thing that separates us is how many times we’ve seen the earth revolve around the sun.
