I go to the movies for many reasons.
Here is one of them. I want to see wondrous sights not available in the real world, in stories where myth and dreams are set free to play.

Animation opens that possibility, because it is freed from gravity and the chains of the possible.
Realistic films show the physical world; animation shows its essence.

True, a lot of animation is insipid, and insulting even to the children it is made for. But great animation can make the mind sing.
