Hey there! This week's topic is FRIENDSHIP Such a great feeling huh? There are many many couple friendships in the world of animation, Im not taking much time to explain what friendship is, since it's a different experience for everyone but again Im making a compilation of GREAT moments in Animated Films. This feeling, most of the time, comes accompanied with extremely colorful frames and movements, smiles and a bunch of tears…but HEY this is what friendship means! good times, bad times…but there's always friendship to get along.
Around the history of animation, from Disney to Japanese Anime, there have always existed friendship. It is, actually very helpful for young people. It is said, that kids must always grow friendship during their 'School age' for it can be very helpful for his/her academical performance, it helps with their moral values etc. So, there IS an influence based on values from animated films and those scenes are very enjoyable to watch. This friendship scenes comes also with some corny even funny script, most of them complemented with some music parts and dancing.
I cannot omit the fact of the importance of the music during the animation process, it changes the complete context of the story, even the lyrics, that you may not be paying attention to them, but they make a great influence.
The camera movements make a great work on this scenes, from down to up, or rolling in the air. As we are about to watch.
So I'll leave you some Friendship scenes and I'll make you below a short example of these things I just told you.
We'll start from Snow White (1937): There's our little fella sitting alone in the forest while the animals watch her with curiosity. She realizes they're watching her and reacts surprised, but happy because they're there for her to ease her pain. They start singing and laughing by the joy of having friends.
Something similar happens in The Jungle Book (1967): Mowgli is kind of down sitting in a rock while the vultures come to cheer him up singing some friendship song, the lyrics are these:
Who comes around
To pluck you up
When you are down
And when you're outside, looking in
Who's there to open the door?
That's what friends are for!
Now we proceed with The Fox and the Hound (1981): We watch that two different kinds of animals can be friends too, theres a lot of playing, young and fun rolling in the grass. I found this very cute, when I was like 5 years…I loved to play with my brother like this.
Now there's The Lion King (1994): Simba is rescued by a sort of Wildpig (Pumba) and a Meerkat (Timón) Who cheer him up and start singing Hakuna Matata
''It means no worries, for the rest of our day..it's a problem free..philosophy''
The background is very colorful, the camera goes by frame high speed and the music could cheer anyone up.
The next movie is Toy Story (1995): Here comes Andy playing with Woody his Cowboy toy, and the well known song in the background: You've got a friend in me. High speed camera, there's an interesting angle when he throws Woody in the air, it is representing the joy that means Friendship. Jumping, dancing. That's how it is.
I hope you enjoyed!!
