I loved working on 'Thomas & Friends.' That's an iconic show, and that thing is, like, a billion-dollar property. But content-wise, yep, if you're not into steam trains and preschool storytelling, it can get a little wearing after years of it.

The industry sees animation as a genre rather than a medium. It has been pigeonholed into being just for kids' entertainment, and that's it.
