Editorial: Animated films appropriate for children are those that are innocently whimsical, mischievous perhaps, but not threatening. Since new animated films aimed at adults have dark themes such as poverty and despair, such films cannot be considered appropriate for children.

Summary
The author concludes that new animated films aimed at adults are not appropriate for children. This is because in order for an animated film to be appropriate for children, it must be innocently whimsical, but not threatening. However, the new animated films for adults have dark themes.

Missing Connection
We know that in order for an animated film to be appropriate for children, it must be innocently whimsical and not threatening. Do we know whether the new animated films are threatening, or whether they lack the quality of innocent whimsy? No; all we know is that the new animated films involve dark themes. To make the argument valid, we want to learn that films involving dark themes are threatening or lack innocent whimsy.

A
Films that are whimsical and mischievous are not threatening.
This doesn’t establish that the new films with dark themes are threatening or that they lack innocent whimsy.
B
Films that are appropriate for adults are seldom appropriate for children.
We don’t know whether the new animated films aimed at adults are appropriate for adults. In addition, even if we did, (B) would establish only that they these kinds of films are rarely appropriate for children. That would not guarantee that they are not appropriate for children.
C
Films that have dark themes are threatening.
(C) establishes that the new films with dark themes are threatening. This establishes that they do not meet one of the necessary conditions for being appropriate for children.
D
Children enjoy films only if the films include animation.
(D) doesn’t establish that the new films with dark themes are threatening or that they lack innocent whimsy.
E
Children do not attend to some details in films aimed at adults.
(E) doesn’t establish that the new films with dark themes are threatening or that they lack innocent whimsy.
