Thanks, guys!

@Bob – Animation is making steps toward becoming more widely accepted as not just for kids, but that’s not exactly what I’m talking about here. Instead, I’m suggesting that whether it’s for kids, adults, or aliens, animation seems to be slowly becoming recognized as an equal to its live action counterparts. Not some special (usually lesser) form of film making.

@Stephen – You’re definitely right that it plays differently with different audiences! Tim and I recently watched it with an audience of hundreds of 11-13 year olds. They didn’t seem to mind it, but they definitely didn’t love it either. Women 40 years old and up seem to be the biggest fans, which I think is pretty cool.

Congratulations guys. The film might play different in different audiences, programmed with different films, showcased with other genres. But it’s the same film any way it’s programmed. And it’s a really awesome film.

Congratulations! Sounds like quite the honor. I agree that audiences are coming over. Still might take awhile, as most people continue to equate animation with children’s entertainment (typically not taken seriously). Because Oscar moved to 10 nominations per category, there’s plenty of room, too.
