Genre: ANIMATION

Genre: Animation isn’t necessarily a genre because it is more or less a medium of filmmaking. Most films are either live action (real) or animated (drawn/ “fake”). But animation can be a genre because most film in that style of filmmaking is targeted towards family audiences. Animation can be broken down into three types: Computer Animation, Stop-Motion Animation, and Traditional Animation (Wikipedia)

Like: Animation can bring a different depth to filmmaking because if you can think it than you can make it.

Dislike: That fact that most animated features are targeted at kids.
