Reply to comment by Cyclopher6971 in Should video game directors be talked about in the same sphere as movie directors? by OfficalNotMySalad

I disagree that it’s entirely different when animated films have been nominated for awards alongside some of the best films recently.

I’m not saying that they should be considered an extension of film or that game directors should be directly compared with film directors but I do believe there is a conversation to be had.

An animated film still has more in common with a live action film than it does with a video game, and has been a part of that world since the dawn of the industry. Shoot, Snow White and The Seven Dwarves won an Oscar in 1939.

There is no conversation to be had, personally. Just because they utilize similar technology doesn't mean the fields can be compared, nor should they be.
