At this point I'm going to Ladbrokes and betting against everything Kotaku promotes. They are like Jim Cramer of the gaming industry.

Sure (also I can't think of any examples) - but than again the question becomes more complex and subjective: what is a good kids movie. But really often kids movie is used as an excuse for bad execution, art, storytelling, acting etc. - while I think kids deserve at least the same quality as adults maybe even better - since media has much more influence on children than on adults.

When we start buying that kids' media enough that it'll bring in as much money as other demographics' media, and we choose to buy it based on its artistic merit and quality, then we'll see more of that change.

But I think there's always going to be a demand for "kids' stuff" that's lower quality, and I think that's okay. Adults don't need to enjoy every piece of kids' media that exists.

And I just disagree that kids stuff means that it should be lower quality. I think it's just lazy. And while I understand why people are producing bad content - I don't have to like it or applaud them for it.

I don't think you're disagreeing with me, because I haven't said that.. lol
