CGI Animated Films for Teens and Adults

Adults who are parents will at least go to see animated film with their kids. They can always say "I took my kid to see it." Teenagers are a different matter. They have a "rep" to maintain.

Anyways, it's not me you have to convince. It's the movie studios.
 
As far as I see it, the only way they will make animated films with a PG-13 or R rating is if they based it on an adult animated series that's really popular.

The South Park movie would've done better, if it didn't come out two seasons after the show started. It probably would've done much better now. Since there's a bigger fan following after 11 seasons.

We won't know if my theory is true until they make a Family Guy movie.

And unlike in America, animated films in Japan are really cheap to produce. They can afford to try and experiment with the teen and adult market.
 
The Simpsons. That did very well for itself. Plus, I would tend to say Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but Warners pretty much gave it a limited release. Of course, I live in the you know where where the you know what went down, so It could have been nationally released differently out of state.

But the teens would rather go for the mindless blood porn slaughter films like Saw. I mean, LOTR, Spidey, and that stuff does amazingly with those. But the mainstream wants crappy, cheaply made gorefests (no jokes about An Inconvieniant Truth please). At least that's what I get from observation.

I have no doubt if they made a crappy parody film called "Animated Movie", it would do undeservedly well though. Which would suck big time, since I've had an idea like that for some time now.
 
Didn't Trey and Matt said something about that? I mean I think they said kids were able to see it since they bought tickets for Wild Wild West in order to sneak in.
 
Of coarse we can use CGI for an adult or teen film, but it is just our culture that says animation (with a few exceptions) are for kids only. Besides I prefer family movies anyways.
