Intelligent Animation is a genre of
independently-produced* animated works geared towards a specific type of mature
viewer. Free from the heavily crude, violent or risqué content which modern
'adult' cartoons have been labelled with, IA focuses on witty, frequently
plot-driven works that are essentially accessible by anyone.
IA is not stuck-up, pompous or arty
for art's sake. It can be silly, dark, emotional or edgy - what all IA
productions have in common is that they are not forged to appeal to demographics
or target audiences. IA keeps in mind that the age of a person doesn't determine
their maturity or capacity to deal with particular subject matter. In
conclusion, IA lets the viewer decide what he or she can handle.
I hope to expand this network
in the future.
In rare cases, cartoons worthy
of the IA title have been produced by studios. Examples of such works are
"Codename : Kids Next Door", "Ed Edd and Eddy", "Dexter's
Laboratory", "Freakazoid", "Sheep in the
Big City", "Kappa Mikey", "Phineas and Ferb", "Animaniacs". Some of these have
run longer than others.
