I am now angry at storytellers everywhere because I've been studying the #NarrativeDesign of children's shows and seeing the same patterns of quality we see in auteur cinema.
Bluey is as good at telling a story as Scorsese ever was. Sesame Street is as thoughtful as Kubrick.
I started this journey just wanting to learn what Mario could do to tell a better story. I started comparing it to Simpsons and was suggested that maybe the target audience for Mario was younger. Now I'm at the bottom of the rabbit hole and here I find only rage.
Trust your kids. TRUST YOUR KIDS. TRUST OTHER PEOPLES' KIDS. JUST TRUST ALL KIDS. THEY'RE SMART AS HELL, PEOPLE!!
