Okay so I went to the K Pop demon hunters sing along event today and while it was such a magical experience I just have to gush for a second about how absolutely adorable the little girl and her dad that I was seated next to was!
This little girl couldn't have been more than 5 and was waving these 2 foam swords around While singing along and quietly repeating the talking parts of the dialogue. And everytime Zoey showed up on screen this would get so excited and oh my god the whole thing was absolutely precious and I am gonna remember that little girl for the rest of my life.
And the best part was she wasn't the only one that was excited, in that theater, everybody shared the same energy as her in their own way, despite the fact that she was one out of 2 of the only a little girls in the theater in the showing I was in! Moments like That is why I love animation and it's specific talent at storytelling as a medium.
Because it brings out so much joy and togetherness in people even if they otherwise would have nothing else in common with each other through its inherent ability of deep expressiveness And intricate tiny details. Animation such a beautiful and versatile medium capable of doing things that live action could simply never even dream of, much less portray in a way that is emotionally meaningful or compelling.
And I hope Kpop demon hunters is the start of an age where people really start to see animation as medium from which any story could be told instead of just a genre for kids
Because there's both so many more stories that are amazingly told through animation and so many more stories that would be better told through the medium of animation.
Anyway I apologize for the ramblyness of this post but I suppose it doesn't really matter how rambly or not rambly it is because it's my blog and I can post whatever I like.
So to summarize I love K Pop Demon Hunters and animation and sincerely hope that people go on and continue appreciating both of those things with an absurd amount of love, the amount of love that those things deserves just like that little girl I shared a theatre with did!
