It's not really for judging mature content, though I guess it seems that way. It's for judging whether the movie resembles movies like Three Colors: Red and Match Point. You know, the kind of movies that it seems are only made live-action.
Then why would you bother creating a list at all if even you realize how utterly worthless its merits are? And then demand that people post an example of a movie that still restricts itself to them?
Hell, instead of arbitrarily copying from your own post in an attempt to be condescending, perhaps you could formulate new words and sentences to explain what is it you're trying to obtain from such a pointless discussion?
You're already aware that animations are made to convey a narrative in a unique, stylistic manner. Various people in this thread have already stated different instances of Japanese animation where the subject matter is inherently adult-themed in nature, e.g Paprika. Movies made in real-time have also taken stylistic approaches to telling stories e.g Schindler's List and Sin City, both which relied on certain 'viewing filters' for the visuals. Those movies could have just as easily been shown in 'realistic' colors, but they weren't.
The real question here is, so what if they can be? Does that honestly make them better movies for it?
Who framed Roger Rabbit is a movie made in real-time interspersed with cartoonish visuals. It's meant for adults because the central theme deals with adult content - namely, murder. There is plenty of childish humor to be found, but the movie was released at a time when adults watched cartoons as much as kids did i.e the looney tunes era. Which is why a character like Jessica Rabbit exists. Her sexual advances simply wouldn't fly in a kids flick these days.
Your concept of what makes an 'adult movie' is inherently flawed. And no, I'm not using your criteria to judge this, I'm using basic deduction. Do us both a favor and avoid quoting yourself if you plan on replying to this post.
