P5(b) Issues of Representations

Meaning and purpose: Animated children's films have traditionally been critcised for presenting characters in an overly simplified way which is considered problematics as the films are most often viewed by impressionable young people. For example, Incredible man's Syndrome, Monster company's Randy Boggs. They are the evil characters in Pixar's movie which make an image in children's mind. Academic theory has discussed these ideas see quote below. 


These stereotypes show that all the characters were built on traditional heros from literature to make the film interesting for the audience.


In Monster University, he was 18 years old which was kind of naive compare to the one in Monster Company, ten years after that. In the story, being as the son of Bill Sullivan, an accomplished Scarer, and having the natural talent that came from his family. He was more laid-back, arrogant, cocky, immature. Because of his talent from his family, he didn't need to study "Scaring", this makes him always on a party mode and hang out with his friends.


 Mike Wazowski is a proud and confident monster, he met Sulley in University and always wanted Sulley's abilities, which are the heights, skins, face. Especially, after he knew Sulley was lazy and didn't want to be a Scary Monster. However, he friends with Sulley, and worked with him as his Scaring Assistant, and drives him through an exercises regimen like a coach. They were the best friends, room-mates, incredibly devoted to each other, although Mike seeks to improve their careers, partly because of the hard work and everything they've ever put into their jobs.
