{{quote|''Critics who treat "adult" as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adults themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence....When I was ten, I read fairytales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.''|'''[[C. S. Lewis]]''', ''On Three Ways of Writing for Children''}}

{{quote|"There are shackles with the budgets and the profit margins. You want to compete with what they’re doing at [[Pixar]] and [[DreamWorks]]. There’s a price tag with that just in terms of achieving that quality level. What happened to the [[Ralph Bakshi|Ralph Bakshis]] of the world? We’re all sitting here talking about family entertainment. Does animation have to be family entertainment? I think at that cost, yes. (...) What I’m saying is we could make animation that’s not for the kids to see, too. I don’t think you want to say, “Hey, bring your family to this movie that’s inappropriate.” But animation can be so much more if we let those boundaries loose."|[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hollywood-reporter-animation-roundtable-tintin-275984 Gore Verbinski]}}

{{quote|"The thing I really hate the most is the total emersion that some anime fans get into -- "dedicating" every corner of their lives to it by buying all manner of posters, books, magazines, studying Japanese just to be able to read the comics or understand the videos, buyng Japanese versions of popular video game systems just to play anime-oriented video games, and intellectualizing the plot of a cartoon as though it had some deep, heady philosophy imbedded into it. If you are doing almost all of these things listed, and not just one or two, you have a serious peoblem. I can't stand people like that, because being around them is like being around a mentally ill person who is trapped in their childhood."}}

"Let's face it. Japanese animation is juvenile, insipid, and endless in it's{{sic}} artistic, thematic, and storyline incestuousness. Every character looks like they came from the same artist - an artist who himself is obsessed with impossible body figures and puppy-dog eyes. The plots are always borrowing from each other -- I swear I saw over 100 different anime shows that had the same plots, characters, and sound effects. I mean, what makes a 35-year-old adult want to watch shows that are intended for a 12-and-under audience is beyond me..."}}
