“Animation is about not the duplication of life, but the suggestion and illusion of it and especially imposing that illusion onto things that would other have life.” In this literature review, I will look into the importance of adaptation in regards to transforming words into animated stories for children. The reasons for me focusing on this is because I find adaptation to be interesting in terms of getting important information across to different age groups, but children in particular as children learn a lot at an early stage of development and characters with a strong design have an impressive impact on young lives. Adaptation is important as changing written media into a visual format means that the accessibility of the content is…
cross over into the other. Cartoons and the animated characters that are crafted for them live in a world that defies logic, normal limitations, and have their own physical laws; it is a world only limited by the imagination of the artists and their tools. The real world, one that people are more familiar with, knows the restrictions and limited possibilities of what a person can do in this physical realm. These two worlds colliding into one seems nearly impossible, almost like a dream. Yet,…

Cartoons: Retro Versus Modern Many various generations would argue that the cartoons from their childhood are the best cartoons ever made. However, lets focus on more recent cartoon styles such as the 1990s and 2010s. Though I was born in the 90s I have little memory of the 90s so I am not obligated to say that I am a true 90s kid. I am more of a 2000s kid. So, now you’re probably thinking, she’s going to go with the 2010s cartoons being better. However, I did say 2000s; which is in the middle…
together and solve a murder. This pair is from opposite worlds, one is a cartoon, from Toon Town, and the other is a regular person from the normal world.

In the second cartoon the earth is being presented by a man or a boy being showered, the…
