Essay about Media Coursework : Shrek

Shrek the musical?? It was magic! It's one of those things that you feel relieved, because it's over, but you are constantly wanting to go back and just feel that moment once again. Shrek the Musical really helped me to push my limits and be more mature. Honestly, I never felt such a deep connection to a non-living thing, a cookie, or even a better name, Gingy! Also, I'm thankful that I met so many sweet people who really made the magic come true.

As a child, most children become infatuated with the newest Disney movie. Although Disney movies target children, watching them as an adult, we start to notice hidden messages and themes in our favorite childhood movies. A category of Disney packed with secret meanings is the Disney princess films. We watch in awe a young girl living, for the most part, the perfect fantasy life.

Frozen takes us on a magical journey with Princess Anna to find her sister, Princess Elsa, whose power to create ice has forever trapped their homeland, Arendelle, in eternal winter.

Some complaints about films are that they aren't of the same quality as the ones in the past. On a technical standpoint, there's no truth in this statement. During the onset of theater, films were simple $400 to $500 productions made by people in vaudeville to go along with acts. Even blockbusters of the 1960s and 70s like Dr. Dolittle couldn't dream of using the technology we use today. The special effects of Dr. Dolittle peaked out at the invention of a clay snail. Nowadays we have the addition of digital-quality sound, color, computer-generated graphics, and voice actors (Wasko 5). In the past, people were glad just to watch a
