Dory in the Real world Copious amount of people knows about the powerful inspiring film Finding dory. In actuality, Finding dory is the by-product of the movie Finding Nemo; which was initially in theaters thirteen years beforehand. Finding dory is what Kim Edwards expresses in her article. “far more than a subpar cash-grabbing sequel to a beloved family classic, the latest from Pixar provides myriad opportunities to help young viewers reflect on such important issues as disability, difference, family and belonging.” Finding dory is the definition of different. The animation sets forth an adventure worth a lifetime. In Seger’s essay, she states “a hero begins as nonhero; innocent, young, simple, or humble” (336). This movie depicts a different …show more content…

She is first seen when the sea lions call the flock of loon birds. They ask Becky to give Marlin and Nemo a ride to quarantine, but not before Marlin has to imprint on her by looking into one of her eyes. In Evely’s article, she describes Becky being surprising, “competent and intelligent ally worthy of Marlin's trust.” She has a visible deformity, unusual body marks, and mental illness. She is one of the only animals besides one other that can’t talk. While all the other loon bird appears well groomed; Becky has all her feathers popping out of weird places. She is not well groomed like the others she sticks out. Evely’s article she expressed, “both Becky the loon and Gerald the sea lion are underestimated and exploited, based on the presumption that they are slow, confused or inept because of their misaligned eyes and bedraggled and disoriented looks.” In the movie, they are the only characters that don’t talk, and they both have the unfortunate problem of not being the best of looking. Gerald is a sea lion with some unpleasant features, and he is treated shamelessly by the other sea lions. Gerald is seen as ugly. He was given a unibrow, and he doesn’t talk while all the other animals do. The only other animal that doesn’t talk is Becky the loon bird. All Gerald wants is to be on the rock with the other sea lions, but he just gets barked off and, he gets the last laugh at the final post-credits when we see him sneaking on top of the rock the others tried to keep him off

    Saving Private Ryan Saving Private Ryan portrays the experiences of the mysterious Captain John Miller and his army ranger Squad. The story accurately depicts what could have happened to a comparable unit mission shown to have actually existed. No Saving Private Ryan character ever existed. Furthermore, it is unlikely that Saving Private Ryan’s mission ever would have been ordered. The mission shown is improbable because the United States Army sole survivor policy “is applicable only in peacetime.”

  • Examples Of Transcendentalism In Finding Nemo

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Finding Nemo, Nemo is a nonconformist because he grew up with one weaker fin and had to struggle to live with that unlike most of the other fish who found swimming to be easy. Nonconformity was very important in the lives of transcendentalist and was included in many works of literature. “A single red ant on the hillside of this valley, evidentially full of excitement, who either had dispatched his foe, or had not taken part in the battle.” In this quote Thoreau describes an ant that was different than the others sitting away from where the other ants were. This shows how the ant was different than the other and hasn’t participated in what was the normal behavior for the ants. The ant represents the lifestyle of a transcendentalist, living a different life and not adjusting to what other people do. Dory represents this transcendentalist concept because she doesn’t care about what other people think. She lived and acted differently than the other fish. Her famous quote “just keep swimming” shows she knew she was different and wouldn’t let being different set her back. Being different and standing out from the crowd are very important in this film. Nonconformity relates to pop culture because many people are different and have different qualities or features, just like the ocean in Finding Nemo with many different species and

    I chose to analyze Despicable Me, an animated film geared towards a younger audience, because I was interested in examining underlying theories and messages that this film would be relaying to its viewers. Often times, when watching animated films, children are not aware of these messages, as they are absorbed by the characters, special effects, and humor. But as we have learned throughout this semester, our brains are subconsciously primed by the various surroundings we are exposed to. Since we also studied the impacts of entertainment, such as television and video games, on children, I wanted to see how a popular children’s film might also affect them.

    es indeed, animation is fun for children, but it also expresses important ideas for people of all ages. In some ways, ‘Shrek’ is your classic fairy tale for example, it has a hero, a beautiful Princess, and a dastardly villain. But unlike the traditional fairy tales, the hero is an ugly, ill-tempered ogre, the Princess is not all she appears to be, and the villain has some obvious shortcomings. The award-winning animated film, ‘Shrek’, is directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, the viewers learn that being a good person is more important than just being good-looking. It also shows that true friends help each other in difficult situations and that women can be equally as strong characters as men. These ideas are portrayed through characters such as Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey. The directors use camera angles and dialogue to express their ideas.

    Disney films have always been a huge part of the pop culture. They featured instantly recognizable characters among every age group. These characters, especially the princesses, have been very influential, more precisely on young girls, from Belle to Frozen. However, the majority of these films revolve around the same plot with minor differences: it is always a tale about finding romantic love, a prince charming who saves the princess from a danger and they live happily ever after. However, in 2012, Disney and Pixar produced Brave, a movie that challenged the types of Disney movies we were used to. It favors feminism and gives girls a nontraditional princess model. Brave stars a strong female protagonist, Merida, and an influential plot that

    For my video paper I chose to do a Pixar movie called Finding Nemo. Although Pixar movies are more aimed for the younger generations, it is becoming more popular for these movies to be introduced in the classrooms. In our DeVito text it shows and explains all the different forms of communication that can be related back to Finding Nemo. Along with other Pixar movies, they all portray many different aspects of communication. Nonverbal communication is presented in the movie by using gestures/movement. Although cartoon characters are not actually real people in the movie, they are created by real people who have experienced nonverbal communication in their lives.
