No wait a sec - CG Animation is still animation, and the character designs in those movies are clearly cartoons. Big eyes, exaggerated physicality - they are cartoon characters in a medium that is hand animated frame by frame. There is a straight line of technique, aesthetic design and horrifying child abuse that links steamboat willy (CODED LANGUAGE) to today's most cutting edge grooming films.
yes, the liberal paedo media has you in its clutches
anime is several rungs of child abuse worse than western cartoons. So bad in fact that we don't actually have a word for it in English. The Japanese have 43 words for it however.
Tangled and Frozen are computer-generated films. They are not hand-drawn and are therefore not cartoons. And where's the evidence to support your, quite honestly, barbaric claims?
You do realise I'm not being serious, right? I'm sat in my office, bored shitless, with only my laptop and Spotify to keep me company.

CG animation is keyframed just like every other form of animation. A person sits there and moves the vertices on the models frame by frame. It's an animation created by artists

Cyanide pls. Listen to reason. Go watch a behind the scenes documentary
edit: along this line, it was amusing to realise that the Hobbit has more in common with a cartoon than a traditional live action movie. I think at least half that film is entirely 100% animated.
So going by your logic, Avatar is a cartoon too? And Polar Express? Sin City also featured a lot of CGI and post-film processing as well as Sucker Punch and Scott Pilgrim. They might not be 100% CGI but a lot of it is so if we apply your logic to it all, then they can all be classed as cartoons too. But your logic is flawed, anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

Yes and no, really. It's a blend these days ever more so. I wouldn't go quite so far as saying that 'live action' films with >50% cg are entirely animations but the disciplines have crossed over more than at any other time.
But 100% cg animated films are definitely inarguably cartoons and I don't see how you can have any other kind of opinion on the matter. They're cartoons and you're an a list.
edit: Polar Express is a cartoon too. And I would say Sin City has more in common with stuff like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Cool World than it does Goodfellas or Casablanca.

Disclaimer: I enjoyed the film.
The Mother, who is clearly a Gaia-esque figure, finds a way to retain her youth by living off the land, so to speak. She does this by finding a special plant; hers by right of the age old Finders Keepers Law. She does so for hundreds of years and in a sustainable way. Nothing inherently evil here.
The King has it found, uprooted and boiled to save his sick wife. Doesn't ask, just assumes it's his because he's The King and he gets to act like a dick by right of birth. He also ends up effectively destroying the plant in a single evening because he doesn't give a shit about sustainability or the environment because he's a dick.
Baby girl is born with magic hair.
Mother Grothel puts two and two together and realises that the magical properties she has carefully harvested for hundreds of years now reside in the girl's hair. Since the King disregarded her rights, she does similarly by breaking in with the intention of taking some of the magical hair. No malice there, just an oppressed citizen fighting for what is rightfully hers. Obviously, this doesn't work out and, in a silly and desperate move, she yoinked the little girl. This was a silly and selfish move, but a human one. She clearly wasn't thinking straight. We've all made mistakes, right? So we can at least sympathise with Grothel even if we can't condone her one silly mistake.
Regardless of her motives, she raises Rapunzal for eighteen years. Raising a human being to be a naive but clearly well adjusted young girl takes a lot of hard fucking work. We're talking nappy changes, teething, feeding, hormones - all that malarkey. Eighteen long years. Then, within 3 minutes of finding out Grothel isn't her real mum, Repunzal throws her, and the eighteen years she spent looking after her, under the bus (not literally, of course).
Regardless of Grothel's feelings for her (and I'd argue that spending eighteen years nurturing her in such confined quarters would naturally cause her to develop at least some maternal love), you'd think that Repunzal would love her since she is the only mother she ever knew. Nope. Spoilt little bitch pushes her out the window the minute she finds out fame and riches await.
So yeah, I do think Grothel got a hard time. Ugly people nearly always do in all Disney movies.
Also, Cyanide: it's a cartoon. Your definition (wherever you picked it up from) is extremely narrow. Where a film isn't 100% CG, it isn't a cartoon, just like Who Framed Roger Rabbit isn't; it's a live action film with cartoon elements. There is no argument to be made.
EDIT: Polar Express is most definitely a cartoon. It used an essentially modern version of Rotoscoping which was a technique used in Snow White.
Da fuq? Sports Direct bought 5% stake in Debenhams? I always thought that store was grasping on straws trying desperately to prevent themselves from going out of business. They had a "closing down" sale every other week.

You've seen my rape dungeon, 18+ only unless accompanied by an adult.
I think that's their marketing strategy.
PS anime is for pervs and weirdos so I thought I'd try it. Have you read Nausicaa?

That's practically Watkins' M.O., isn't?
Indeed. It's not paedophilia if you get parental consent.
Wait a second... but you're an adult...

I'm imagining those letters you used to get from school for trips out with the reply slip at the bottom. As long as it's signed by a parent or guardian...
Or as long as it's a passable forgery, much like the letters you'd get an older brother/sister/friend/paedo to write when you bunked a day off school.

I was going more for the insanity plea.

Now you're bluntly asking for it. That's not how you get on the list.

No, I don't hate Cyanide but I pity the fool and I will destroy any man who tries to take what I got.

"Frozen got a Golden Globe for Best Animated Movie.
Also, this weekend it was #2 in domestic Box Office. Ahead of every other movie, except new Lone Survivor. Got 15mil with a decline of only 20%. Around 720mil worldwide. It will open soon in many other territories, like China and Japan. If all goes right, a billion is in a bag eventually."

Too late.
I'm still not on the list? Dammit jim, I've been trying really hard lately as well. Did I not piss you off enough on your birthday drinks?
You're a bird, your default mode is irritating.
Also, aside from telling me how much you hate me sometimes, I can't really remember you doing too much out of the already mentioned default bird mode norm.

got an actual genuine lol from me
I would consider the ability to make, pose and move 3d models to be illustrative. New medium, similar techniques
Chris Martin is a Beatles-level genius who has had an unparallelled impact on 21st century culture. In years to come will will look back at him with the kind of reverence we reserve for artists like Mozart, Handel and the Cheeky Girls.

I'm genuinely shocked you didn't give my wonderful analysis of Tangled the time of day. You're as ungrateful as that little cow Repunzal

I feel this way about humanity, if that helps. Why does nobody appreciate me?!
