CEO of a company that embraces the idea that animation is for all ages
They are not wrong, anime are a thing and you can have animated movies that are targeted for adults however Bob Chapek is not wrong either. He says that after parents put their kids to sleep they want something else, how many parents watch anime? Anime is still not that popular among adults. I'm not that big on anime but I did go thru a phase when I was 18, I assume a lot of parents are like me.
I don’t watch new cartoons but if I see a rerun of GI Joe, Thundercats, or something I watched in the 80s as a kid I’ll record to watch later. I watch anime sometimes and I like it. Although the main cartoons I watch now would be Simpsons, king of the hill reruns, South Park, Futurama reruns. Most of what I watch isn’t animated.
A lot of adults may watch anime. I do like Futurama or South Park but those are not something that Disney would do, for what ever reason.
Now if we overlap the adults that like anime, Futurama, South Park, Simpsons and parents I assume is not a great overlap. Most would watch a movie with the wife that most likely will be chosen by the wife :P unfortunately.
I'm tired as frell but I can't sleep properly either. No idea why, all my medical tests are saying I'm in perfect health. I've been kidding that I'm going to die perfectly healthy but I'm starting to think that is more then a joke.

True. I have insomnia to a degree so middle of the night is prime time for me to watch Simpsons or King of the Hill reruns lol
