Kids have Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui BEFORE puberty!


Using "puberty" as an excuse to introduce four new characters made no sense: Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui. Every kid has them before puberty. The only new emotion when humans hit puberty is lust. Why not introduce Lust?

Lust? In a Disney kid's movie?

So they can easily do it again with a precedent for them to copy, which Pixar has done many times: The story for Toy Story 3 is a copy of Toy Story 2, and the design of Wall-E is a copy of Short Circuit.

I mean, I’m not against the idea, but most cartoons today play it safe and treat kids like idiots.

And yet, ironiclaly enough, they’re more likely to introduce an lgbt emotion before they show lust.
