You're phrasing it derisively, mostly. You're using it as a way of convincing people the medium is childish, pointing towards a set of examples within the greater whole.
I am saying that what a medium is "mostly" about is almost never a reflection of what that medium should be respected according to. If it were, TV would be shat on for being all about reality TV and Kim Kardashian. Film as a whole would be slated for being nothing but guns girls and explosions. Music would be seen as a childish, irreverent series of crazes and fads.
None of those things are treated that way, so why should anyone believe animation is just for kids? They shouldn't. It should be treated like any other artistic or creative medium since the dawn of time - Capable of great things, and usually not leveraged FOR great things.
