In this week’s meeting, Alex Knight returns to share his penchant for dissecting cartoons and how he has to constantly defend comic books and video games against the notion that the medium is just for children's entertainment. In addition, we discuss cultural diversity in entertainment, cartoons as a defined line for kids to escape reality, the death of 'Saturday morning cartoons' in an on-demand world, and whether or not animators have a responsibility to provide moral lessons in their work.
