Amy Schumer is outraged by the sexualization of mothers in children's cartoons

American actress Amy Schumer criticized the creators of animated films for excessive sexualization of mothers. The reason was the heroine of the cartoon “Become a legend! Bigfoot Junior” in 2017, whose appearance seemed implausible to the celebrity. The actress drew attention to the emphasized forms of the character and his too young look.

On social media, Schumer asked why mothers in cartoons should look like porn stars and hardly differ in age from their own children. She also ridiculed the popular reception of animators, who indicate the age of the heroine only with a slightly shortened hairstyle. The actress believes that such images form a distorted view of women.

The position of Schumer was supported by the creative duo of directors Carney and Saul, engaged in animation. They suggested that the reason lies in the predominance of men among the creators of such characters, and called for more active involvement of women in the work on cartoons. Schumer herself has previously criticized children's films for outdated stereotypes and scenes unsuitable for young audiences.
