1. The author uses children's didactic books such as Heather Has Two Mommies and parody movies like Monty Python, as examples of subversions. "Happy Tree Friends, an animated series of cartoon characters that would appear to be appropriate for children is an example of a subversion because when you actually watch the show, the cute little characters die bloody deaths and curse. I also believe that Shrek is a subversive movie because not only does in make fun of fairy tales, but when I rewatched it about a month ago I understood numerous inappropriate jokes made for adults that I missed as a child.
2. I think GTFTS is an interesting concept and a fun idea for adults who struggle to get their children to bed. The audience is definitely adults.

I also think the target audience for GTFTS is adults. Also I never thought of Shrek as a subversive movie until now and I totally agree!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your mentioning of Shrek as a subversion because of all of the subliminal messages and the mockery of fairy tales themselves. I also love how it's still appropriate for kids while sending those hidden messages that only adults will pick up on.
ReplyDeleteI never did think of Shrek as a subversive movie, but if you really think about it, it is as it mocks other fairy tails and can be a little inappropriate at times.
