Adults liking cartoons?

I know I'm a kid at heart. I'm always going to be a kid no matter how old I get. But I know society expects everyone to grow up fast, especially kids. [Makeup for a 7 year old? Really? Are they not allowed to use their mother's makeup anymore?] [I'm not even getting into the sexual encounters that kid's are getting nowadays.]

I recently saw Tangled [the latest Disney released movie] and absolutely loved it. I tell my co-workers and they ask me "you really saw that?"
Is that a problem? I'm not ashamed to tell others that I love cartoons and animated movies anymore. That's just who I am.
I think when some people reach a certain age, they assume that they need to stop watching childish things to impress other people, to seem older then they really are. Well you know what, the older you get, the younger you want to get, even if you don't realize that in the early twenties. I regret not enjoying my youth to the fullest when I was a teenager. I could have done so many different things with my life and interacted with so many people. I guess the older you get, the more regret you have on your life. Depends if the person HAS any regrets, though.

However, I could be wrong. Maybe some people just don't watch cartoons because they despise them. They despise the very essence of everything happy-go-lucky in the world and just want to watch CSI all day [which is not a bad show either]. In reality, it's a person's choice to decide whether or not cartoons or anything animated is their "thing." Maybe music is their "thing." Maybe doing taxes is their "thing."

All in all, cartoons are a preference. Some people like them, some people don't. However, it's wrong to say "You really saw that?" to someone. You're making it sound like a disease or something disgusting. It's my choice and my decision into seeing and enjoying something. You need to respect that.
If you don't, you're the one that's still a child.
