Powerpoint Presentation 4

Primary Texts:
Tom & Jerry
Due to how long it’s been around, I think it’d be interesting to study what kind of influence it has with its exaggerated physical violence, sometimes taking it to an extreme. (Get feedback from both older & younger generations)
Looney Tunes
Chosen as primary due to how wide its audience is, universally so, and because of its similar physical slapstick violence to Tom & Jerry, with a wider cast of characters and more narrative structure, does this help give violence a purpose and context?
SpongeBob Squarepants
A much more modern cartoon aimed at possibly a younger demographic but with intense and in some cases, extremely graphic cases.
Ben 10 (Primary Only)
Series directed specifically at boys, probably aged 8 – 12, that involves constant fighting and supernatural powers throughout. Seems to be the ‘in’ thing for Primary school boys at the minute.
Pokemon (Secondary Only)
Cartoon that created a craze in the late 90’s, thereby reaching wider audiences than maybe smaller cartoons would. Graphic fighting and violence prevalent throughout.
- The previous 2 are age specific due to how each age group can relate to them e.g. Secondary kids wouldn't be able to as easily relate to Ben 10 as Primary children due to how long its been out and its target group.
