The LEGO Movie Directors Write Passionate Response To Oscars Animation Joke
The Lego Movie directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller write an impassioned response to a 2022 Oscars animation joke. From the implementation of hand-drawn animation in the earliest films and TV shows to today's massive digital production industry, animated stories have historically intertwined adult themes and eye-catching designs typically marketed toward children. The death of Bambi's mother in the 1942 film simultaneously traumatized and educated children about the morbid inevitability of life, and 2022 Best Animated Feature Winner Encanto likewise probes the difficulties surrounding generational trauma through the exclusion of Bruno, toxic matriarchs, and feuding siblings.
