***...but the whole animation and story is too Kiddy,, why?? 
*** Cuz it's a kids movie maybe!!!  The big companies (Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks...) are all mainly catering to child audiences...  the fact that grown ups enjoy them (non CGI types like us) is mainly due to the "grown up" popular culture references and music etc that usually goes over the heads of the younger viewers (remember Will Smiths character in Shark Tale yelling "You had me at hello" to Renee Zelweiger's character?).  Folks like us enjoy them for usually the 3D first (myself, maybe others here) and the aforesaid reasons.  Something like Shrek is most likely aimed at the youth consumers so they can get Mom & Dad to buy them the Shrek 3rd video game and Shrek 3rd Operation game and Shrek 3rd Cadilac Escalade etc...  Then considering something like Ergo Proxy (current fave anime) and Samurai Champloo & Cowboy Bebop (see my avatar baby?  YEAH!!) are aimed at older youth to adult audiences.  

The Shreks & Toy Storys and Finding Nemos are always gonna be cheezy and kiddy cuz that's what 99.9% of kids like!  And that's gonna make a lotta dough for the movie studios!

And on a side not...  Why oh why tebop do you start a potentially controversial flame bait-y thread every week!!!  I'm not trying to be a jerk but I've been noticing a trend in your posts in the last while...  that's just me!

You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock n roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
