I don’t remember the exact quote or where I read it, but Hayao Miyazaki has basically said that he refuses to do this with his movies because he feels like it would insult the intelligence of the kids who watch them, and that he also believes that that refusal is a big part of why they are so appealing to adults as well.
yeah the good “all-ages” shows have layers that kids don’t notice for adults to enjoy
