Cartoons are a huge part of today’s society and range from many different types of audiences. Most cartoons are aimed for a younger audience such as children or young pre-teens, however, there are cartoons that are specifically made for older audiences such a teens, young adults and adults. When it comes to cartoons, there are many different types that a person can choose to watch as well. From the array of cartoon genres or styles, a person can easily figure out what suits them. Cartoons usually stick to a certain line of what they want to aim at, such as if they want to follow a horrific story or if they just want to strictly be entertaining by giving off humorous jokes. After years of watching cartoons, there are three that have really …show more content…
This cartoon usually starts out very sweet and innocent and usually consists of light hearted jokes or moments to make the viewer feel happy while watching it. As it progresses, the cartoon will either take a quick turn or a slow turn into the most heartbreaking moment that not only tugs at a person’s heart but pulls and smashes it down on the ground, crushing the heart under its feet. A fantastic example to mention is “Avatar: the Last Airbender”. Even though this show aimed for pre-teens, it still did not let up on the most heart wrenching moments known to all fans everywhere. From the main character, Aang the avatar, finding out he is the last of his kind after being frozen for one hundred years to the villain’s son, Zuko, fighting with his internal struggle to betray his father and fight for good or to destroy the avatar and have his father take over the entire world, this show had one major blow right after the other when it decided it was time to break the fans hearts and minds into little pieces. This show had very light hearted moments and funny episodes to include in between blows, but when it delivered those bad moments either about death, betrayal, or destruction, it ran over viewers like a train at full
The first thing people notice, and criticize about South Park is the fact that the show is based around four children who promote crude humor and vulgarity. This display, they say is inappropriate because of the fact that the show is in cartoon format, and thus is attractive to children. After watching the show a little more, they see many other disturbing ideas promoted by the show, including but not limited to: religious ridicule, the promotion of extreme ideals, and childish po...
The visual advertisement for the movie, Minions, successfully reaches its intended audience: families with children. The movie advertisement used minimal and kid-friendly colors to make the movie more appealing to the audience. The visual is able to invoke pathos in the audience by using the minion with ketchup mistake. The advertisement displays ethos by using recognizable characters and demonstrates the use of diversity among Minions to connect with kids. Families with children will want to watch the movie, Minions, because of this kid-friendly
In today’s world of multimedia it has become extremely hard to avoid the introduction of adult themes to younger children, who lack the maturity to process and question the information. Young people are bombarded continually with unsuitable and undesirable concepts that give false images of acceptable behavior. Music, movies, television, internet and video games are accredited with the moral deterioration of present day youth. Great strides have been made to establish rating guidelines, parental controls and warning labels that assist adults in making informed choices on what their children should or should not be able to access but they are not perfect.
Well renounced animation studios of today, Walt Disney, Warner brothers, and Famous Studios all used children cartoons to explicitly display this effort of anti-Japanese sentiment.
Political cartoons are more complex than they may seem. They express compound political issues in unassuming and amusing ways. This is done to make a point about the issues and flaws that the cartoon is conveying. When in reality, most cartoons usually convey less information than mumbling or gesturing. Attached is a political cartoon about ObamaCare. This cartoon title is “’Obamacare’ or ‘Republicare’”. On the ObamaCare side is a picture of a donkey to represent the Democrats....
Another animated epic that took the world by storm was a show called Avatar: The Last Airbender. Originally airing from 2005 to 2008 on Nickelodeon, this was a show that took the bar and raised, and eventually broke. The show takes place in an ancient setting where the world is divided into four nations of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. In each nation are a select few group of people who have the ability to bend and manipulate their nation’s respective element. Only one, however, can bend all four. He or she is proclaimed the Avatar, and their duty is to balance and protect the world. They also act as a bridge between the physical and spirit world. The main character, Aang, is a young airbender who runs away once he discovers he is the avatar, due to being shunned by his fellow monks and being sent away from his adoptive father. However, he gets caught in a storm and is frozen for 100 years and wakes up in a world divided by war and under attack by the main nation of fire. His goal is to learn all four elements, while traveling with his friends and being pursued. This show touches base with war, specifically the damaging effects it can have a nation’s spirit. Refugees, starting a new life, conspiracy in a world that is divided, taking responsibility for one's past actions, and proving that death is not always the final option are some of the many themes shown throughout the show’s three seasons. Now while that may seem like such an onslaught of “messages” and “awareness campaigns” the show manages to have their comedy mirror their action. Thus having the light-hearted whimsy, parallel their serious moments, tying into a variety that makes a great show.
I chose to analyze Despicable Me, an animated film geared towards a younger audience, because I was interested in examining underlying theories and messages that this film would be relaying to its viewers. Often times, when watching animated films, children are not aware of these messages, as they are absorbed by the characters, special effects, and humor. But as we have learned throughout this semester, our brains are subconsciously primed by the various surroundings we are exposed to. Since we also studied the impacts of entertainment, such as television and video games, on children, I wanted to see how a popular children’s film might also affect them.
Today, the American industry of showing Anime has developed to a five plus hour per day airing across multiple networks and cable channels. While the early exposures where largely unchanged, as other, more mature titles where purchased for the US market the editing process began. Due to the US stigma of animation as a strictly children’s medium, shows where edited for language, content, and story. While it is debatable as to whether these changes ruined or improved the anime, it is undeniable that it gave Anime the one thing it needed most to make it in the American market: exposure.
Cartoons are the one that young and old audience grew up with. The most popular cartoon of all time was called “Disney”. Though way back in the 1928, a short animated film introduces in black and white called “Streamboat Wilie” with a cartoon mouse named Mickey. However, in 1986 a Japanese animated film had been joined in the world of animation (a.k.a called “anime” in Japanese). His name was Hayao Miyazaki He capture the wonderful imagination known well in the Japanese animation film existed today. Both films are very successful toward their film. But one is American and one is Japanese. However, Buzzfeed made a survey online about which animated film is the best. The result was fifty
Manga and anime have been around since the early 1900's and over the last forty-eight years anime has been a part of American television. Anime has been altered to fit the American ideal of a 'cartoon.' Oxford Dictionaries defines a cartoon as; a simple drawing showing the features of its subjects in a humorously exaggerated way. Japan has no equivalent and calling an anime a cartoon is insulting. Anime is not a simple cartoon. It is a creation that is more closely identified with animation, but with significant cultural differences. Manga and anime needs to be better understood and taken seriously.
Not to mention, Adult Swim cartoons are the worst for a child. Those cartoons are strictly cartoons for adults, because they contain more mature content. With this in mind children will find a way to watch them anyway. Shows like Family Guy has extreme violence, profanity, and sexual references. In reality children will start fighting more aggressively, using profound words and phrases and make sexual references towards one another. The consequences are kids can pick up bad habits from watching cartoons that contain violent
Cartoons on a television are glue to children. Children will spend hours a day watching their favorite cartoons, such as “SpongeBob SquarePants” or “Adventure Time.” Unfortunately, the content on these shows, and several others, can harm children. Directly, cartoons can affect how children think and act; additionally, this leads to the indirect effect of children physically hurting one another.
Animations are a series of drawings, computer graphics, or photographs of objects, like puppets and models, which are different from each to create a variety of entertainment for the audiences. Animations are what brings excitement and mystery, hooking the audience in through interest. It is a form of some sort of “magic” where things that aren’t real but from the imagination comes to life in front of people who live these mundane, ordinary lives, adding color to the eyes and mind. The creators of such amazing arts and creation are animators.
Animation, like any other creative art, requires a successful animator to be: patient, talented, disciplined, and willing to work hard. Among the term animation are subcategories such as: character and effects. Character animation is the hardest, in that is requires the most skill. The animator must have a critical eye for every detail that goes into the final project. Character animation can also be broken up into its own subcategories such as: 2D, 3D, traditional, stop motion, and motion graphics. However, 2D and 3D are the most commonly pursued. Regardless if the project is generated by hand or by computer, the overall goal of the animator is to entertain. The animator must have both a clear concept of how to entertain the audience, and
When students learn how to read in elementary school, teachers would teach students how to read comic books and as students we see that the comics would give the animals multiple human traits. Many comic books substitute animals and give them human-like characteristics, such as the ability to talk and walk upright. However, the debate rages on as to what type of animal makes a good character and what type of animal makes a bad character. Comic writers would often use different types of animals that are naturally seen in the real world and they would determine what type of role they would have in the comic book. Also the cartoonist would determine who should prevail, who should not, and their emotions towards one another.
