And particularly like this from the Reporter: ...
Don't relegate these filmmakers to the kids' table, where the movie industry often forces animators to sit. Not only have their projects scored big at the box office — 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' took in $619 million worldwide, while 'The Lego Movie' collected $468 million — but they also are among the year's most inventive films. After all, they create every single frame from scratch. ...There are creators of high-grossing pictures here, and some artists from smaller movies. But it doesn't matter. The media treats all of them like a breed apart. But that wasn't true sixty or seventy years ago, and it continues to be not true today.

It still surprises me how ill-informed most entertainment media writers are about the animation sector of the film industry whenever they write or speak about animation. The lead interviewer for The Hollywood Reporter has a tone that sounds somewhat incredulous that Frozen was this huge success (who'd o' thunk, right dude ?) and gushes about how Frozen "showed the potential of animation" as if this is something new ... As if the "potential" of animation hasn't been proved over and over and over again.
