Further proving my point that most people are idiots.

I'm with you, though. They have the technology, and the people writing animated films are the best we've seen in a decade (Seriously, compare The Incredibles and Finding Nemo to Beauty And The Beast or The Lion King). I think somebody will probably take a shot at it soon. Hopefully, people will see the ads beyond the fact that the characters are animated and decide not to take their kids to an R-rated cartoon.
Note that almost 100% of the truly great animated movies are coming from Pixar.

However, you're right, and hit the nail on the head. People associate cartoons with kids. MAny people won't watch an animated movie because it's obviously "kiddy" and others will go into it expecting it to be kid friendly. You're asking two groups of people to swap places. It's a cross-genre sort of deal by default.
