The Plastic Box

I decided that I would visit the site called The Plastic Box where there is an animation series entitled "Teddy and Anna." This animation interested me because it was very different compared to the Barbie My Scene animations that I viewed earlier. The first thing that I noticed, was that this animation had a setting that was quite unusual. It appeared to be taking place in the 1920's era, yet the technology that was shown in the animation was not available in the actual 1920s. The setting gave it a more futuristic appeal. Also, the colors scheme that was used was very different compared to the scheme in the My Scene animations. In "Teddy and Anna," the bright warm colors were used everywhere, not just in the important places as in the My Scene animations. Instead, of audio for voices, "Teddy and Anna" just had music playing in the background and the dialogue was printed in words on the screen. This gave the animation the look of a silent film, which also was popular in the 1920s. The movement in "Teddy and Anna" also differs from the My Scene animations. In "Teddy and Anna," the characters have a very smooth motion when they move unlike the characters in the My Scene animations. I think that the animator needed this element because there was no vocal audio to keep the viewer watching. Then again, that's just my opinion.
I was also watching the story line in each of the episodes of "Teddy and Anna." Each of the episodes are thought out carefully and have a cliffhanger ending so that the viewer will watch the next episode. Of course, so far there's only 6 episodes, and the story isn't completed yet. After watching episode 6 I'm waiting to see what happens to teddy and Anna and the strange men that took something from Anna's dad's office. Anyway, I enjoy "Teddy and Anna" because of it's story line and it's amazing animation. I can't wait to see what happens next!
