Animation is the topic of discussion for the podcast this week. And just how child-friendly the genre has been over its cinematic evolution. Our fair maiden, and host, Bianca Garner helps paint the picture with Daniel Smith-Rowsey, Rob Motto, and Jonathan Holmes. And they all put forward their notions of the animated film, how it has changed over the years, the various contexts of the stories told, and just how much of it is catered for the adult as well as the child. As always please subscribe, comment, and enjoy.
