Summary
The author concludes that new animated films aimed at adults are not appropriate for children. This is because in order for an animated film to be appropriate for children, it must be innocently whimsical, but not threatening. However, the new animated films for adults have dark themes.

To make the argument valid, we want to learn that films involving dark themes are threatening or lack innocent whimsy.
