How do you think the lengths of the best films compare to the lengths for the best animated films
erik [133]

Answer:

The best films have a longer duration than the best animated films.

Explanation:

Animated films, although they have a well constructed and often deep and meaningful plot, are mostly films aimed at children. This justifies the shorter duration that these films have in relation to the best films. Since children can be bored and tired with very long narratives.

However, the best films have a longer duration, because they have more complex stories that need more time to be solved.
