There was no category for best animated film at the academy awards before 2002 when Shrek won. Animated films had only gotten special achievement awards (which were given to films like Toy Story and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves). However since then animated films have been earning lots of money. They appeal to many audiences who will pay top dollar to go watch them. The boom of animated movies have made more and more jobs available in animation and the number of jobs is expected to keep increasing by 2022. Animated films are constantly gaining revenue and recognition across the globe and will continue to make entertainment for audiences everywhere.
You'd think that since animated films have been around for so long that they would've had their own academy awards category much earlier. I'm happy to hear that animated movies aren't going anywhere, though I'd be happier if we meant 2D traditional animated movies. As someone who would love a job in animation, I'm also glad to hear that even more jobs will be available in time. I feel so old to think that Shrek came out at least 12-13 years ago and Toy Story came out 18 years ago. I agree that animated films do appeal to all audiences, I know adults as well as kids who love Toy Story.
