35 Ways of Silent Scream: From Zero to Hero!

Ladies and Gentleman, make way for the hero of the night! This week’s topic is about: Admiration.

Such a weird and complicated subject to illustrate as it is not as easy to see as the others. But it’s there anyways. I’ll focus this way, every movie needs a hero, EVERY kid has its favorite hero, I used to have one actually, (no I won’t tell you guys who was it) but they assume the whole admiration of thousand kids who actually buy toys of their favorite character. Who wouldn’t buy a Woody’s animated figure? Or Sulley , from monsters Inc? I actually own James Sullivan’s toy.

So these animated guys are here to make extraordinary tasks in order to save: a toy? the town? Princesses? The world? Universe? From evil hands like the ones I’ve posted before. Like there are few specific scenes of these feelings I’m making this video shorter than the rest of the videos I’ve posted.

Admiration in Animation (it rhymes!) is usually built as Son-Father, as the Lion King or Hercules, even Ariel shows a lot of respect for his father, Triton, the mer king. It is also common to be shown as some external admiration like hero relation, great tasks requires public and that’s how the hero is shaped, just the ones who fall into envy, get to be the villains, just because they want what the hero has, and that’s a human trouble. You see, animation is related to universal subjects, human problems, it’s not just a matter of writing colorful messy stuff just to entertain children, it is written for a special audience in order to teach culture, to shape how we are or we have to be.

Just like James Sullivan in Monsters Inc, he does his work better than anyone else, everyone just compliments him but there’s Randall, the evil lizard who wants to steal all his glory. Or Scar who wants to get control over his brother’s kingdom, beyond all that envy there’s admiration, so huge it turns into toxic poison. So the admiration subject actually deserves a pretty good space in this blog, it is important to teach to this society how to love, how to like something, how to make your own goals and not to hate another’s good work but to compete clean. It always turns into a good message to our XXI century children.

Maybe we are bringing new culture to our future, admiration makes a piece of our soul, and movies like these are here to help how to respond to that. I actually found useful our anthropology classes; applied to animation they might have a lot of a good use.

We will make a journey through some disney heroes of all the time:

Here we have Mr. Peter Pan! oh yes that elfic-ginger-look kid was the hero of all the neverland kids (he's also my hero) he doesn't want to grow up (neither I), thats why kids get so identified with him. I mean, who wants to be an adult and take things so seriously dude? lets just have fun all the time! yes!

There's also Capitan Li Shang from Mulan! this gorgeous guy is encharged of the mission against the huns. He looks tough at the beggining but he turns to be a very sensible person. Thats what we admire of our beloved heroes.}

But my favorite hero (same movie faved) is Quasimodo from the hunchback of Notredame, he is as sensible as no other, he...with his appearance seems to be the only wise in the story, he loves Esmeralda so much even though he knows it wasn't for him, he saves her from Frollo's hands. Isn't that a complete hero? I would admire Quasimodo so much in real life. That's human nature, being good and kind and not expecting anything in charge. I love that.

There’s another kind of admiration, not turning too evil but to the other side of the way, to be too fond of someone. But that’s another’s topic! Find out what’s next week, same channel, same time, and same blog!
