“Hoodwinked” (computer animated film) (G) I will be looking at which challenges/conform to the typical roles of the hero and have similar/different ideologies to shrek (I) Furthermore, in shrek 2 they use a transgender bartender, which in the past would have not been allowed in a children’s animated film as it would be seen as unacceptable as the values were more conservative.(R,G,I) I decide to use shrek 2 as it is a post modern text and it subverts the usual expectations of a typical hero as shrek is an ogre, where in more liberated times he would have been seen as a villain. My independent study focuses on the representation of how heroes and villains are typically represented in animated films. But here the main message is carried by wilful chin and posture, the clenched fist and angry brow and mouth. Not much here in the way of fang shapes – a hint in the eyebrows and moustache, the pointy chin and nose, and of course the hook itself. Often angry brows, and fanged hair and nails.Īnd then there is the legendary Captain Hook. And she turns into a quite magnificent dragon.Īnd in the magnificent Cruella de Ville – pointy cheekbones, chin, and mouth corners. Her companions too reveal these shapes – the crows in the shapes of the beak and wing feathers. In the Sleeping Beauty, the malevolent force here also reveals the fang shape in the horns on her head, and the shapes of her cloak drapery. And the appendages to her head designed to give greater height and impressiveness. The ugly gaps in her dentition and the wart on her nose add little to the appeal, indeed, they constitute another sentic form – the bringer of disgust.Īnd the downturned mouths in Snow White’s Queen,and the Stepmother in Cinderella. The sideways look also makes her look shifty. Fang shapes appear in the way her hair hangs in tufts, in her nails, and in rounded form in the nose, mouth and chin. The heart shape of the face does not relieve the feeling of malevolence.Īnd when she turns into the witch, a new set ofĬharacteristics come into play: The eyes this time are large, but the irises and pupils are lost in them, appearing small, and giving the cue that you are not

The mouth too reveals constant displeasure. With the wicked Queen from Snow White, again we see the fang shape in the collar of the cloak, and the narrowed, tricky eyes.
