Why do Americans refuse to make animated movies beyond the first two ratings?
>>
>>153333676
It should just be G, PG, and R.

>>153333676
That pic kinda answered your own question.

doesn't make money
cartoons have the perception of being for kids
and thats why they don't make money

I reject your premise.
Speaking generally, pretty much all countries do the same, it's not solely an American thing.
However, Americans were the first to go beyond and make animation beyond those two ratings, and they are still the leaders (by numbers, if not by quality) in bucking that trend

>>153333746
and people brought their kids to the movie not understanding what it was, and a lot of them left once the adult stuff started

Smaller market segment = less likely to give back what it costs. Plus, there’s no precedent of something like that succeeding, while G and PG animated movies have proven to be obscenely lucrative when successful

>>153333764
How the fuck did they not know?

>>153333721
Given they are going to an R movie I'm gonna say yes.

>>153333781
But live-action PG-13 movies have made literally billions. Why not animated ones?
>>
>>153333784
anyone who didn't know what it was would have likely just thought it was some generic pixar movie. you underestimate aging parents who don't really use the internet for anything besides facebook and sports highlights.
>>
>>153333811
>Why not animated ones?
a lot of parents still just think "animated = for kids" with no other rationale beyond that. they didn't want to watch a talking hotdog movie.

Same reason why TV cartoons became even more sanitized than they already were, bitchy parents and parent groups who think little Billy and Sally will die if they hear the word "damn" or see a character bleed because they expect cartoons and tv/movies to serve as a pacifier rather than actual entertainment. Maxwell Atoms talked about this before.
This is why iPad kids exist.
>>153333817
This is still 100 percent on the parents, I remember the TV ad push for SP, literally every commerical highlighted the fact that it was rated R in big fucking letters

Please help me understand

>>153333676
G and PG are the most common because it has the widest appeal
its that simple, you stand to make more money if you aim at the whole family instead of just the parents
>>
>>153333676
a combination of big studios chasing money and hissy parents
>>
>>153333897
parents don't monitor what their kids watch on the internet, and as such, they have no idea what is or isn't appropriate. with movies, they can look up ratings, but with streamers, they likely have no idea what you can even find on twitch

PG-13 was created because some of the PG movies that didn't meet the qualification for R were still too frightening for children. PG-13 basically means "don't bring young children to this, retard". It's not always used that way, but that is what it is for. Too extreme for PG, but nobody swears or dies gruesomely so it is not R.
Obviously this makes almost no money, because animation is considered for children; unless it is a raunchy comedy then it goes all the way to R because why not.
>>
>>153333811
It would go over just fine. The producers simply won't do it and no one else has the money to.
>>
>>153333676
Because they always suck and have little to no appeal to actual adults (manchildren excluded). The novelty of cartoon characters swearing and having sex and doing drugs wears off fast.

money
the stranglehold of profiteers has destroyed america
it has destroyed what people believe in, what they value, what they can do, and what they own
that's why they cried treason when a ceo was killed
because to them the money is the state
the people are just the engine
>>
>>153333749
I don't think that's possible, largely because those ratings are recentish inventions, like the Hayes code had an entire life span before they officially existed. Not to mention animation for children was a development of television. Looney tuns really was for adults who went into the Cinema to watch it. But you are right, Americans never really stopped making adult animation, it's just they always do comedies

Really? I can count way more European and Japanese productions and the highest quality animated american movies are usually for kids or families. In terms of high quality adult animated movies Japan and France have produced way better stuff

When even animated films with family-friendly MPA ratings have tons of bullshit they need to slide past executives who think kids can't handle ANYTHING, try guessing how much more difficult it'd be to get an R-RATED animated film to make it through the system

>>153336383
Never made it to theaters, so it doesn't count in our eyes.

Son.
He's meant to represent that children CAN watch R films but must be chaperoned.
