Are there any other animation fans or members of C/FO
(the Cartoon/Fantasy Organization) on the net? Are you interested
in discussing favorite topics? If so, does this discussion
belong in net.tv, net.movies, or net.sf-lovers (most of my
favorite animated shows/movies are science fiction).
To start a (possibly flaming) discussion, I'd like to propose
the following question to all -
Why is animation regarded in the U.S. as a medium only suitable
for children's programs? This does not appear to be true in other countries.
It is not just an economic question. High costs here may explain why
no high quality animation is being made in this country but does
not explain the conversion of foreign adult shows to childrens
programs in translation because "if its animated it must be for kids".

p.s. Has anyone out there seen the new Nelvana movie Rock and Rule yet?
I know it's been released but it hasn't gotten to the
Baltimore/D.C. area.
