ESSAY RESEARCH

Deciding not to focus too much on capitalism as it’s not so much about the psychological effects, and it brings
in a whole other discussion of sustainability, consumerism etc. which is too big a topic for this essay.

STORY SEARCHING
I've been trying to find inspiration for my practical response, I have found Pixar's Bao interesting
https://www.npr.org/2018/06/15/619253624/in-pixars-first-female-directed-short-a-dumpling-child-fills-an-empty-nest
It's relevant to my essay because it’s about the first female (and of colour) directed Short film. It interested me
Domee Shi mentions the comparison between the fairy tale of the gingerbread man and the little dumpling child.
This has influenced me to look at fairy tales as well as folk tales to re imagine for my COP practical; or how I could
put a twist on one of these stories for an extended practice idea. There are similarities with the painting ‘Saturn’
https://www.museodelprado.es/en/the-collection/art-work/saturn/18110a75-b0e7-430c-bc73-2a4d55893bd6
which has made me realise that my story doesn’t need to be sickly sweet to be child friendly. It can be a bit gotesque
so long as it’s pallatable. So I had a look at the Hunchback of Notredame to look at a questionably ‘scary’ children’s
tale; I realised the kids genre isn’t homogenous and that I can pick a specific age group. How to understand what is
expected of the different age restrictions:https://bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/pg.
Similarly https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-hunchback-of-notre-dame-1996/user-reviews/adult
allows you to review whether a title is child friendly with tickboxes such as: positive messages, positive role models,
Educational Value, Positive Messages, Violence & scariness, Sexy stuff, Language, Drinking, Drugs & Smoking.
This shows me the range that is in a children’s genre

This shows me the range that is in a children’s genre
I found the story ‘The stone of the wise men’ which was interesting but didn’t represent a specific culture. I have
decided to look for a story which has: a moral, a defining culture and potential for interesting story telling visuals-
using art as a learning tool.

Story options:
Momotaro: https://www.spirotta.com/story-momotaro/
The tongueless bird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtXzVPsojE4
The cats elopement https://www.storynory.com/the-cats-elopement/
Baba Yaga and Vasilisa the Fair https://www.storynory.com/baba-yaga-a-scary-story-for-halloween/ is also a scary children’ story and an alternative telling of the more commonly known Cinderella.
I have decided on finding stories that have a moral message within them, rather than just being a folk tale, I would like to focus on using the medium as a tool for learning about a culture.
