If animation wasn't monopolized by the Disney empire early on, we'd see more interesting, western animated movies these days. I'm glad there's at least little movement into the more serious direction. TV cartoons are already more political than most live shows. Give it time.
I watch animation differently from live-action. I see it more like a kid, maybe. "Grave of the Fireflies" was a particularly haunting and emotional movie for me, whereas I doubt that I would have watched a live-action version all the way through -- out of boredom.
