"And now you who chose to, rather than discuss facts, start throwing out insults."
Says the writer of this oh-so-polite and factual gem:
"Again, it would have taken you about thirty seconds to find that information. So don't whine about others explaining simple facts to you when you started a thread dedicated to expressing your ignorance.
Because that ignorance is entirely on you."
There is no insult there. That is a statement of fact.
The OP created a post in which he displayed a lack of knowledge derived from a lack of information.
That is the very definition of ignorance. Pointing that out is not an insult it is an acknowledgment of simple fact. I didn't say the OP was stupid. I said he was displaying ignorance. Do you deny the ignorance of the OP? Are you claiming that the OP was not ignorant of the simple fact that animation is expensive and that the budget for 'The Peanuts Movie' is in line with other modern animated movies?
Even after being given an accurate explanation of animation budgets the OP again tried to justify his ignorance by comparing 'The Peanuts Movie' to a non-animated movie and claiming that 'The Peanuts Movie' had no 'big stars'.
After being given an explanation as to the reason for the budget the proper response from the OP should have been, 'Okay thanks I didn't know that.'
That would have been that.
There are things of which I am ignorant. I couldn't tell you the first thing about how a car engine works. But if I were to create a thread in which I questioned the mechanics of such an engine and claimed that an engine didn't work in the manner in which it works that would be an open display of that ignorance.
Before creating such a thread, on a topic of which I know I am uniformed, I would take the time to do a little research. Failing that, rather than get huffy when people provide me with an accurate and truthful explanation, I would thank those who provided me with that information.

It honestly isn't a big enough deal to me that I would feel the need to embarrass the OP.
"There is no insult there. That is a statement of fact."
Wrong. You've shown disrespect for someone who clearly values asking questions over performing a "simple" Internet search. People like you are the reason why others often feel intimidated about asking anything, and I'm only glad to have put you on your *** this time around.
"After being given an explanation as to the reason for the budget the proper response from the OP should have been, 'Okay thanks I didn't know that.'
That would have been that."
Such sound...such fury! You're a demanding little thing, aren't you?

The people you are responding to will never understand the difference between live-action and animation (things that are created specifically out of the minds of the individual or that of many individuals and that process itself takes significant trial and error, and when on a tighter budget, much more "stop and see" or "let's see how this will work meetings, discussions, decisions, and story boards. Movies, such as The Martian (2015), can use previously established designs and structures, whereas animation requires the hand of creativity – things produced specifically for said storyline, and individual mechanics surrounding each effect, movement, such as movement of mouth, hands and other, is extremely tedious and requires much time and patience. On a movie set, one can get a lot of production done (in terms of minutes and keeping with the schedule of, on average, a 2 to 3 month shooting schedule), whereas the proces on an animation set, those working on the development of character animation in film would be lucky to get a few seconds done-to-screen ready. I will lastly add that talk of this film, in that the public knew of, or I knew of, was back in 2013 March. The picture of Snoopy and Charlie Brown hugging was one of the first released. I remember being one of only 60 people on The Peanuts Movie' official Facebook page. This should speak volumes regarding the necessary time and patience the animation requires in making a sophisticated animated film. In addition, it should serve as no surprise that the most expensive aspect of any movie is special effects, or CGI, let alone a film comprise solely of that – CGI.
