The latter kind of "adult" themes can handily be addressed in a non-alienating way. The best of animated movies of the past twenty-five years have dealt with real issues without being alienating. Or one could look at, say, Star Wars. It then depends on what kind of "mature" we're talking about here. Earthbound and Fire Emblem, for instance, are that kind of "mature" without being alienating. Are we talking about Fire Emblem maturity or MadWorld maturity? |
That's a good question. I would say between Fire Emblem and MadWorld. Maybe Star Trek? Something with themes geared to adults, not really geared to children, without being overly inappropriate, and not cartoon either. Somewhere neutral with more adult themes and topics.
Hard to put my finger on it though.
And another alternative is, like you're saying, something even a step beyond Star Trek. How about Indiana Jones, or Beauty and the Beast? A title that would appeal to adults, with adult themes, but could also easily appeal to kids. Both are valid proposals, but one would more easily sell. On the other hand, the Star Trek type would better secure an adult audience.
Each with their pros and cons if you see what I mean.
