I didn’t remember i had seen this movie until you described it. I am relived Max didn’t have to sit through a gore fest!
I feel that animation is the best genre for comedy… if animation is considered a genre. It always for more extreme physicality and situations that comedies often trade in and I think more outrageous elements are much easier to accept and take in with animated films. Sometimes horror and comedy go well but, for me only if the comedy is secondary to the horror and used as relief or a way to make the horror more surprising.
I don’t think I’d call animation a genre but a medium. But I think I know what you mean; there’s a type of comedy that can’t be done in any other way but animation. That being said, I think horror and comedy have a really unique blend. Thanks, Vince!
