Chara Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) So far I've come up with three different approaches to what I want to work on for my EE; which is western animation. The movies that I have seen potential in for analysis are the ones mentioned in the questions. I need some feedback on which of these is more acceptable for an English Extended Essay (if any) and some suggestions on the wording/scope of them. The first was suggested to me by my adviser. Topic Question South American Settings How are South American settings explored in Postcolonial American Animated Films “The Road To El Dorado” and “Emperor’s New Groove”? Postcolonial Theory To what extent are Ancient World Cultures portrayed accurately in Postcolonial Animated Films “Moana” and “Kubo and The Two Strings”? Character Dynamics To what extent do the main characters in “The Road to El Dorado” and “The Emperor’s New Groove” interact through similar dynamics? Thank you!

Natalia Hess Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hello! I think you have good ideas, but you do need to develop them further regardless of which one you choose. If I had to vote, I would choose the third question. I think it would be a great idea to compare both movies and their portrayal of the characters. Yet, you should delimit your question more. Perhaps you could elaborate on how they interact through similar dynamics regarding friendship or other aspect. Although your topic is interesting, I don't know if it covers the requirements of an English EE. I advise you to read the EE guide to make sure that you are fulfilling the demands of the EE in this subject. Good luck! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried about the requirements too, but since I've spoken to my adviser who is also my English teacher about it and she did not mention any problems with that I assumed it was alright. I think I will ask her about it again. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedishgäri Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hello, all of your research questions sound wonderful, however, just like Natalia mentioned, you need to go sort of in depth with your question. One of my friends is doing her EE and had to narrow down her analyzation of a character's behavior in a movie to just one scene. Perhaps you can choose to compare 1 scene from each movie.
