The Environment
After looking at the colours in the costumes it then lead me on to think about the environment in which the characters would be living in. To narrow down my search I found three environments from three different animated movies. The movies I chose were 'Shrek', 'WALL-E', and 'Tarzan'.
The environment in which these have all been placed in plays an important role within the stereotypes in the film. For example, WALL-E lives in a small metal bunker that is slowly rusty. This makes the audience feel upset for WALL-E as he is alone and isolated, left by himself with only rubbish that surrounds him as his friend. The environment plays a powerful role in the stereotypes as you would not place a kind-hearted character in a dark and creepy place or a villain in a peaceful atmosphere as this would not help guide the archetypes across to the audience.
