This time I decided to interview my best friend, art passionated and musician. He studies Liberal Arts at the PUCP's University in Lima and he comes with an interesting point of view about animation and it's influence in society. I have the pleasure to introduce Lorenzo Bouroncle:
First Question:
Q: What do you think of cartoons as a source of moral education for young audiences?
A: I think it's a double edged sword. On the one hand, the dynamism and the colors that are played on the screen produced a child (or person) who is watching, retain more information. Well, pictures that are often divorced from the reality and, ultimately, much depends on the content and message that they bring to make teaching materials. Moreover, today's cartoons are part of a trend to which I called "The Stream current." I say current, because it has been trivialized much the message that brought cartoons to children, in addition, many figures and compositions of these drawings are grotesque and figures rather than to encourage the imaginative world, spoil the taste and culture of our children.
Q: Do you think that has changed the way of developing the 'Plot' of cartoons throughout history? If so, in what sense?
A: Definitely. Previously, every cartoon had everything very lightweight and was treated with continuity. Were generally stories with well-defined arguments. Matter that at the end of viewing these drawings, it had a very clear message. Now, I notice that the cartoons meet a very complex phenomenon , that I call: "teletubbiezise" the animated world.We must take note that I am generalizing a lot, because there are still many pictures that preserve the classical rules, which I think are much better, but with a more modern design, which is not to say grotesque. As I said, I feel that the animated world of today, talking about TV in most cases, treating children like computers, where learning robotized. This was totally disfigured pictures, sounds and very violent ways. It makes you think: What are we breeding?

Q: Do you still like watching animated films?
A:Yes, I love it. I automatically transport into a world which I miss. I can not believe how powerful it can be to me.

4 Q: Did you like any animated film in your childhood? If so, Which one and why?
A: A: Yes! Pokemon! Many people tell me it is not an anime, that does not even post. What I liked about Pokemon was that I found a completely alternative world that I live, in which the fellowship and healthy competition leads one to motivate themselves. The colors and the creatures called Pokemon were elements that seduced me a lot and gave the series that mystical touch that I like.
