Interested in everyone’s opinion… can animation projects succeed if they have adult character’s POV or do you feel that having kid’s and younger character’s POV is essential?

I'm currently involved with several animation projects. Anything goes!
Sam. Check out The Legend of Vox Machina on Prime Video or even the re imagined He Man on Netflix.

I think animation has a particularly unique way of introducing human horrors that other mediums cannot introduce. I'm reminded of Persepolis (2007) and the atrocities that it portrayed through the eyes of a girl coming of age: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808417/?ref_=nm_flmg_prd_37
And The Breadwinner (2017): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3901826/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
They are adult topics made digestible through animation and a PG-13 lens. In a way, animation is a way to fully be engulfed in a different world, and if you want your audience to absorb that world, then animation may be best. Ghost in the Shell also comes to mind, but Anime is not the only genre that uses adult themes in animation.

Archer, Aeon Flux, Animatrix, and countless other examples of great adult animation are easy to find. Thundercats, GI Joe, and Rocko's Modern Life are great older examples.

Many of Pixar's films have an adult POV.

Is it comedy, because Family Guy and Rick and Morty paved the way for adult cartoons.
