Throughout the film, many stories are told by different characters that are involved in the story. There are

I admired the character Princess Jasmine in the film “Secondhand Lions” by Tim McCanlies because she was a minor character but she stood out in the film. This movie was about a fourteen year old boy whose mother sent him off to his Great Uncle's farm on a mission to find their millions that rumor said they had stashed away. His summer stay features stories of his Uncle's past and of their adventures a long time ago with princesses, wars and evil sheiks. Film techniques helped manifest Jasmine’s importance in the movie through narration, music and costume. This essay in my opinion, concludes Jasmine was a minor character that was seen rarely, but her presence was overall substantial.

I chose to analyze the movie “The Princess and the Frog” since I knew how sexist Disney princess movies in the past, such as Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, have been, but also the interesting twists that try to hide sexism in the more modern tales. “The Princess and The Frog” really is a classic Disney love story. Tiana is a woman in New Orleans who dreams of one day running her own popular restaurant along the Mississippi River. Prince Naveen travels to New Orleans with the sole purpose of marrying a rich woman to reclaim his part of his family's fortune. His greed is his downfall when he seeks the services of Dr. Facilier, a voodoo man who turns him into a frog and turns his servant, Lawrence, into the prince. In a chance meeting at a masquerade ball, Tiana and frog Naveen meet. Naveen promises to pay for Tiana's restaurant if she would kiss him to turn him back into a human. Tiana relents, kisses him, and then is also turned into a frog. It is a race against time for them to find a way to turn themselves back into humans.

The Princess Bride captures the element of humor and witty comedy through effective characterization to bring out the true version of the fantasy involving the classic love stories in medieval kingdom setting. Firstly, from the onset, the film opens with hilarious comments from the grandson as the grandfather prepares to read the story. The grandson appears less enthusiastic to hear the narration, and seeks to know what exactly the story will unfold by remarking that if the fairytale will have scenes involving a lot of kissing. Falk in preemptive version alludes to the fact that obviously the story has eminent kissing and bounty of ‘screaming Eels’ (Haase, 2007). This claim sets the tone for a true comedy delivered in quasi-heroic epic fantasy version where the episodes transcend viewers’ emotional expectations in engaging humor scenes despite the enthralling swordfights and combats.

The 1997 comedy film, ‘The Castle’, directed by Rob Sitch, is a classic Australian film which pits the underdog individual against a large corporation. The low-budget film follows the fight of tight-knit working class family, the Kerrigans, who face the forced acquisition of their modest home by a government organisation. It can be clearly seen that the director has positioned audiences to see the Kerrigans as praiseworthy characters. This is shown through the narrative elements, stylistic features, and constructedness of the plot.

Some of these characters play a major role in the plot while others represent a group of people that is discriminated, because of race or gender. George and Lennie are the main characters, which makes them most important to the book’s content. Their friendship and dream about having an own farm are most valuable for the story, since the plot is based on these factors. Crooks and Curley’s wife are on the other hand just as important as the previous characters, but they are more important for the linking between the book and The Great Depression than to the actual plot. These characters reflect how the society looked like in the past, which creates a perception of reality. For example, Curley’s wife has no name, which signalize her powerlessness and position on the ranch. This character does also represent a segment of American society that is discriminated against because of gender. Crooks symbolizes people that is discriminated because of race. These characters are important, because they strengthen the book's action, link, message and

The use of media to produce animated life were presented adequately in The Corpse Bride. Although most talking was done through the general moving of the character’s mouth to match what might be their words, the created aspects of the face itself said enough. Outlandish facial features like the brows, corners of the mouth, and chin of the living characters express their general tone throughout the picture. For example those of Finis Everglot, Victoria’s father, were extremely over done and further furrowed when he talked. This provided good insight into attitude with the combination of voice, but the character’s mouths still worked more as blinking face holes. The disappointment of lip sync-ness is quickly made up for, though by the success
