Children animation research

Like i said we wanted to change normal then to animation and the children's book idea, "Elf" is a perfect film that has all that. It keeps the magical part of the child's book and the animation are very sweet.


The drawn image turns into a real life which i really like the effect of.




Another good thing about it is that the titles appear on different thing, for example some are written in the book and the pages turn.




Other examples of childrens aniamtion are films like Shrek, Ice Age and Bug Life however this are much more glossy and we could never get to that standard of aniamtion. However they are still animation and are mainly for children viewing.


I think the appealing thing to this is the characters look friendly and child friendly. If out audience are children we need it to appeal and communicate to them. Having characters or bright colours like Shrek makes it more for that audience.


This image is from a childrens animation show on BBC, obviously this is an animation of two girls however they are drawn into there own style. This could be an idea for ours aswell, rather than keeping it totaly real and making sure it looks correct we could do a character like this. As when you watch it you kind of go into that world and forget that a human dosent look like that but accept it as a human.
