Many people mistakenly assume that cartoons are something that can be interesting only to children of different ages. Well, and a little bit of adults who accidentally were next to their child at the time of viewing.
In fact, it is worth remembering that cartoons are primarily a way of shooting, and not a genre designed specifically for children. In addition, the world famous and such "cartoons", which although they look childish, but are specifically designed for an adult audience.
10. Chico and Rita | 2010
In 2012, he was recognized as the best "Spanish animated film." The plot and the characters around whom events unfold will be close and understandable to an adult audience, but certainly not to children.

But the bright events, the immeasurably high ego and the difficulties of life in Cuba in the middle of the 20th century constantly attracted and repelled Chico and Rita from each other.
Anyone who wants to see passion and eroticism in a cartoon form will definitely be satisfied.
