Is animation a genre? A quote from RETHINKING CHRISTIAN ANIMATION


First a quick explanation of what animation is and what it is not. Animation should not be confused with genre. Genres are categories, such as, comedy, action or romance and are expressed through various media. Animation is a medium, as are clay, paint or film. Some genres, such as horror or romance, are usually restricted to specific ages. However, media are not bound to any age range. This means that animation is not solely for children.

Quote from RETHINKING CHRISTIAN ANIMATION

Another reason to use genres more deliberately and creatively is to draw people's curiosity. We want to make people wonder, “Why are churches supporting a movie that doesn't feel like a typical preachy Christian movie.” Sometimes we should create a mystery or a puzzle to solve.

From Rethinking Christian Animation

We have a concentrated focus on protecting children from ungodly media and that overshadows our goal of fulfilling the Great Commission. It is like sending all missionaries to only one nation, ignoring the rest. We have created our own obstacle rather than a creative expression of worship. Our focus needs to be centered on Jesus and what He commanded us to do.
