Spotlight - Animated Films for Kids & Adults

In this Spotlight compendium to their Titan AE episode, the Mikes are talking about some of their favorite animated films that are targeted at both kids and adults.

Mike Field and Mike Butler talk about films that were not just animated films with a few jokes that go over a kid's head, but ones that are meant for the entire family, kids and adults to enjoy (at least) nearly equally.

The Mikes list films such as the Toy Story films, Inside Out, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and more as they discuss these films not pandering to their adolescent audience and finding themes that work for an audience regardless of age. They also bring up that as an adult its important to keep some wonder, and childhood whimsy; to not become someone that your younger self would no longer recognize.

So grab your concessions, find your seat and get read for Forgotten Cinema: Spotlight!

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
