Shrektastic Shrek The Musical made a leap of faith when it came from the film by Dreamworks to the highest level of commercial theatre; and it stuck the landing. The audience immerses itself in the backstory the witty princess Fiona, and the giant green ogre, Shrek, who is sent to rescue from a dragon-guarded tower in hopes to get his swamp back. The elements that stand out in Shrek The Musical are the costumes, a heavy amount of singing, and the acting, which all appeal to the 75$ price tag. To…

In 2004 Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures teamed up to produce Lemony Snicket’s A series of Unfortunate Events. This movie’s main villain, Count Olaf, is a fairly good representation of an ideal human villain. Even though Olaf has little to no relatable qualities in the beginning of the movie, he immediately comes across as a comic relief type character with a flair for the dramatic. Though it might have been nice to see more of his character, he was good enough to keep the audience…

There are several challenges a film can face when it is adapted from a written piece. Whilst some critics will defend that film adaptation tend to vary several aspects of the story, others, may object there are techniques, which help to recreate and maintain the plot alive within audiovisual frameworks. This essay will discuss some of the difficulties of adapting War Horse and the different methods that were used in the pursuance of telling the story visually. War Horse is a children’s novel…

The home and workplace were considered as a single unit with men and women sharing tasks during the pre-industrialization period. This arrangement changed with the rise of machines and factories, giving birth to stereotypical gender roles and the socio-economic hierarchy. During wars, men left to serve in the military and women were recruited into traditionally male dominated jobs due to the increased need for an alternative labor supply. As an outcome, paid work became an arena where more women…

factors led people to have more enjoyment in animated movies and shows. The concept of animation has allowed Walt Disney to build a powerful empire that is still around today. “Disney magic launched an animation revolution that boomed with Pixar, Dreamwork, and Disney’s own Frozen.” (How The Little Mermaid Cued Disney Animation Renaissance) Colored animation all began with a guy named Walt Disney. Disney has been a television producer, showman, American motion picture animator, and even later…

15. The blanket octopus is not your ordinary octopus, they contain long webs connecting to their body. The females can grow as large as six feet while the males are only 5 centimeters in length. With the weight ratio to at least 10,000 to one, it sounds like mating should be fun. When the male finds a female octopus, he breaks off one of his arms and crawls inside her to store sperm, then swims off to die. Actually, that doesn’t sound very fun at all, but at least he got a happy ending, right?…

love with princess Fiona, while rescuing her from a castle protected by a dragon. Shrek has a deal with Lord Farquaad that if he can bring Fiona back to be the bride of Farquaad, he can get his swamp cleared of fairytale creatures. In the satirical Dreamwork production Shrek, William Steig utilizes the device bathos and the technique reversal to target the issue of judging and stereotyping people because one does not truly know and understand them. Bathos is one device employed in the scene…

He developed special effects which are always being improved on today by his very own company Dreamworks. He used his knowledge of human relationships to help everyone connect to his films on a personal level. And he thought outside the box by reaching out to other industries to advertise his movies. Spielberg's greatest films challenged others in…

Close Shave, Shaun the Sheep is a well-constructed, ambitious stop-motion animated production. Initially, I’m guessing it’s not uncommon to judge such a production that less than stellar, visually, at least when compared to something from Disney or DreamWorks. But, don’t shortchange this under-utilized means of animation creation. Admittedly, the animation doesn’t pop out at you, like Frozen or Minions, though it does draw you in – rather hastily, I might add, with a group of loveable…

all the people who have love one’s who has a mental disability by cueing the retard jokes like “Never go full retard” and “Once upon a time…. There was a retard.” and that the stars Stiller,Downey, and Black and the studeo that produced the movie, Dreamworks, had defended the movie saying that it was a pardoy aimed at the movie industry and their past of exploiting people with disablities and again it was one big joke and nobody should be taken offense to…
