How does Benshoff substantiate his statement that "Disney is the most recognizable name in animation, throughout both America and the world?
Disney opted for creating animations towards a large audience in the form of low art. The low art films were usually short animated films which drew in the attention of the masses
Marketing was a way of spreading their animations to America and the rest of the world
Pictorial realism
Disney incorporated mainstream trends as to draw people in at the time
Describe the modes of artistic production that Benshoff suggests correlate to the three stages of capitalist enterprise?
I was not able to understand this question
Outline what Benshoff goes on to say that his essay will discuss.?
He goes to to explain that the essay will talk about how Disney, has possibly created a new understanding of animation and the influence the world had on Disney and the influence Disney and on the world
Explain why you think that the author is proposing a comparitivve study of "Silly Symphonies and The Brave Little Toaster." How do you think he will use this to support his main argument?
I think that he is going to compare them because of the difference in how they are presented and how the stories differ, adding to that I believe that the little toaster is a mixture of low and high are and that it will be compared and shown what the differences are or maybe he is going to say how even though time has evolved, Disney still produces low art.
In the introduction eg. paragraphs one and two, identify and explain where and how the author presents the following
- Topic (introduction of key issues/themes)
The topic of the essay is told at the end of the first part of the first paragrapgh. it is written right after a quick explination of high and low art forms, and people who have partaken in creation of high art.
- Definition ( definition of key terms)
Key terms withing this essay would be High and Low art, the definition of high and low art is discussed before the topic of the essay is introduced so that the reader will have an understanding of what the essay shall be about.
- Rationale (explain why the topic is of interest)
The topic of "Does Disney produce high or low art" is of interest is because through out the years, Disney has created so many different forms of film, being Silly Symphonies to Fantasia, finding out what the creation fall into being high, low or postmodern art form.
- Outline of the how essay is organised)
The outline of the essay is discussed at the end of the second paragraph, Benshoff doesn't make the outline of what the essay will discuss clear, however Benshoff structures the essay by first talking about the highs and lows of Disney, going on about high arts they have created and low arts, it then goes into details of the low art, by discussing silly symphonies, then moving onto The Brave little Toaster.
