Essay Ideas

We started to come up with essay questions to answer on topics to do with animation that we were interested in.

1. How has Bruce Timm's work influenced super hero cartoons.

Bruce Timm's work has always been something I admired, I grew up with his version of Batman and how it could be dark, and still be enjoyed by children. His work is always one of the first I think about, I think the problem with this is finding references which I shall look into more.

2. Is censorship ruining cartoons

This is an idea me and Gin discussed at length in how cartoons seem to be getting censored more and more to seem more child friendly. We discussed how different we see cartoons today to the ones we watched when we were younger.

3. Should adult ideas be allowed in Children's cartoons

This could do with the title being more refined but the idea behind it is allowing innuendos and alluding to adult contexts in children's cartoons.

4. Is there Gender inequality in T.V

Once again this needs a better title but this is about how T.V channels are purposefully split into gender specific channels this is very obvious in the children's T.V segments where it's either aimed and boys or girls not both.

5. Is adult animation conforming to existing shows

This is about how a lot of adult shows seem to be re using jokes, storylines, and setups already done in shows like south park, simpsons and family guy.
