There is a lot of controversy in some of these animations that we just never notice. For example, Yogi Bear lives in a safari park but steals picnics. We also looked at sofa satires such as Family Guy and The Simpsons which both are very popular and recognised. These shows tackles a lot of press in the news in their own satire way.
Then there was girl culture where there's franchises of cartoon characters such as Dora the Explorer which is an example that created merchandise and it's mainly about making money.
South Park is the uncut version of a satire, they deal with serious and bold subjects to pass on a message to the audience. It's very much always up to date with the news and they embed that in their show.
It was interesting looking at all these various examples of animations and how much we look into it as we're grown up. There is a lot of adult humor embedded within these cartoons which we never used to understand. There's also a level of animation of how realistic the characters can look. For example, Tomb Raider is an animation that looks very uncanny and realistic compared to Spongebob Squarepants which is just animated shapes.
