Stereotypes in Animated Movies.

Moving on from the facial expressions, I decided to explore how stereotypes work within animated movies. researching about archetypes in movies it was made apparent that archetypes mainly existed in children's entertainment. To show what characters fit what archetypes I got pictures of heroes, villains, jesters, the characters that fight against the typical stereotypes and the characters that do not fit into any archetypes at all.

The decision to use characters that do not fit into any archetypes or that were fighting against certain stereotypes was because I wanted to show how animation has changed throughout the years and how history may have had a part in this discovery. This made me question whether we find stereotypes within people and use them in our characters for a more realistic and reliable story.
