The same way that some people still don't know what "Rosebud" means in Citizen Kane - nobody told him.
(And please don't mention it here. I know what "Rosebud" means, but others might not, and we don't want to spoil the movie for them. Right?)
Let him be. It doesn`t worth it.

You don't want anybody to know it's the..... ?!? ;-)
Ok so now you all had me thinking lewd thoughts ......
We'll have to try harder the rest of the time.

Maybe I was too sensitive. Trying to get hold of my support team to help figure out what is wrong with me.
How do you handle someone who thinks animation is for kids?
Unless they are nasty about it or seek to tease you about it, just ignore their opinion like they seem to have ignored what your feelings on the subject are.
I guess from the bulk of your question, that they think it is beneath them.
Like being all grown up is such a fascinating and important thing... I get that some people get all proud of the fact that they finally have hair on their armpits, but at some point you have to grow beyond the "I'm a big boy now" mentality and let go of the impression that one must deride anything they perceive as childlike.
I'd rather be childish than waddle through life with a stick up my butt like some people seem proud to do.
The great thing about children is their minds are still growing, they are flexible and more often think "out of the box" better than most "grown ups"... They adapt.
People who praise their own maturity usually tend to do so because they feel they have all the answers... Yet they always seem to repeat the same mistakes.
Having all the answers generally means you have settled on a level of understanding and shut the door.
Most things that "adults" enjoy are pretty stupid on the face of it... If you were to strip many hobbies or interests down to their base idea, it's often pretty silly.
Think for example of one of the most mature and sophisticated sports out there...
Golf... A multimillion dollar sports industry basically built on the idea of people playing fetch with themselves out on a lawn.
But I have friends who love the game... And that's fine, it's what they enjoy... And if I was stuck on a desert island with a nice lawn and a fully equipped golf bag and absolutely nothing else at all to do, I might give it a try...
Probably not, but maybe.
But some folks treat the game like it's the epitome of mature entertainment.
Boiling it down to whacking a tiny ball around into shallow holes with a stick...
Is it really any worse than enjoying an animated movie or program?
If I can "get" what someone else enjoys, then they should grant me the same.
And the goes for your situation as well... Granted, I enjoy dressing up assorted species of rodents and other small mammals as famous military leaders and their armies and then training them to reenact historic battles or conflicts, so that's harder to grasp... Especially since they often mutiny and run off with their tiny fully functional weapons... Which in retrospect could create problems in the future, should they all learn to work together... But anyway...
If I were you, I wouldn't be offended... I'd pity the fool ( the wisdom of Mr T)... They don't know what they are missing and are too "mature" to imagine or accept that it may have some worth to others and by dismissing it as "for children", they have given their own interests an inflated level of importance.
To that I say... PPTHHPTHPFFTHPPPT!!! (That's a raspberry)...
And if that's being immature, then so be it.
EDITED TO ADD- Sorry, I didn't see your last post... But there is probably nothing wrong with you.
You just got annoyed with someone being snobby about something you enjoy...
I probably shouldn't have just said "probably" since that leaves open the door to possibilities such as you making a voodoo doll of the person and beating it with a hammer...
In which case there may be some anger issues present, but since I have no idea if that was actually done, I'll leave "probably"...
Voodoo dolls are actually okay... even quite entertaining at times.
Adventure Time is one of the most imaginative things I've come across. It transcends age barriers. It's like My Little Pony meets Lord of the Flies and it manages to sustain that juxtaposition and entertain me and challenge me. It's quite unique in it's approach to story telling and It reminds me of that Einstein quote about imagination being more important than knowledge.

If this kind of things usually don't bother you, but do now, then yes, that is the best option.
That kind of remarks tends to get you when the defenses are low.
*hugs*
P.S.: Yesterday, I watched a video of Adam Savage (The guy who's in Mythbusters) and three friends re-creating Captain Kirk's chair from the old Enterprise, with all functions (you even could talk to Scotty through the intercom :-)). Off hand, I'd know about twenty people in my vincinity who'd roll their eyes and balk at that "childish waste of time". But they are the same people who spend hours shopping for shoes, or in a soccer stadium, or polishing their cars.
To each their own "childishness". :-)

...lived with a flat mate who had a full sized Police Call Box in the living room and had a Tardis Control Console n the dining room.
...yeah then there are some who are so mature they're paid big money to whack a ball with a stick (either on a lawn or diamond shaped field), kick a ball up and down a pitch, toss one through a hoop with a net attached to it, or drive a car around in circles.
Bugger, we need to get a piece of the pie. Time to set up the International Digital Dolls Rendering League.
Playing golf, while not my thing, is understandable...
Watching Golf.... More like watching paint try or grass grow...
Didn't read whole post so someone may have already said this.
Q: How does one handle someone who thinks animated movies are just for kids?
A: You don't. You will not convince them otherwise. If the topic comes up for what you want to do, simply tell them "electronic media". That answer should be sufficient for their narrow viewpoint.
I've been here for similar situations a number of times for a different industry.
I say we stomp him... then we tattoo him... then we hang him... THEN WE KILL HIM!
What's amazing to me is how many people here have recounted instances of having close-minded coworkers, friends, family, etc.
But also not surprising. I have some friends who will not tell their co-workers what they do in their off-time either to keep a completely professional persona at work or just to avoid any odd glances or gossip that could end up unintentionally impacting one's job or career. For this reason, I tell nobody anything about the forums I visit or the activities I have outside of generally alluding to "arts and photography" if I am asked, which they're happy to accept without a lot of questions. I keep things not secret, but I also don't display any of my own artwork at work and I don't try to get work friends to do my things after hours. And yet there are so many IT people who gravitate to graphic arts, music, and performance art, I would not be surprised if I were to find out one day that a co-worker or two were regulars on this forum or other places I go.
Each of us is unique, but yet, we are often more the same than we would like to admit.
You just have to find your own way in this world. Enjoy whatever you do, whether it's scrabble, reading, writing, music, or art.
Who you share it with is just as personal a decision as the activity you do. Choose both well!
The difference between a sports enthusiast and a mere observer was described by Tolkien in his seminal essay On Fairy-stories:
Children are capable, of course, of literary belief, when the story-maker's art is good enough to produce it. That state of mind has been called “willing suspension of disbelief.” But this does not seem to me a good description of what happens. What really happens is that the story-maker proves a successful “sub-creator.” He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is “true”: it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed. You are then out in the Primary World again, looking at the little abortive Secondary World from outside. If you are obliged, by kindliness or circumstance, to stay, then disbelief must be suspended (or stifled), otherwise listening and looking would become intolerable. But this suspension of disbelief is a substitute for the genuine thing, a subterfuge we use when condescending to games or make-believe, or when trying (more or less willingly) to find what virtue we can in the work of an art that has for us failed.
A real enthusiast for cricket is in the enchanted state: Secondary Belief. I, when I watch a match, am on the lower level. I can achieve (more or less) willing suspension of disbelief, when I am held there and supported by some other motive that will keep away boredom: for instance, a wild, heraldic, preference for dark blue rather than light. This suspension of disbelief may thus be a somewhat tired, shabby, or sentimental state of mind, and so lean to the “adult.” I fancy it is often the state of adults in the presence of a fairy-story. They are held there and supported by sentiment (memories of childhood, or notions of what childhood ought to be like); they think they ought to like the tale. But if they really liked it, for itself, they would not have to suspend disbelief: they would believe—in this sense.
...read that work years ago.
Those particular passages are so true.
In general I do not like being told what I like is actually too young for me. I think I am adult enough to know what is good for me or not.
I am trying rhaspody unradio and tried to listen to a Disney radio but it kept playing lullabies which I do not mind at night but not in the morning on my way to work. How odd?
