1. Fantasmahorie is a interesting cartoon, but what bothered me was the stiffness of the characters, but I guess it would make sense since they are stick figures moving in a robotic, but bit smooth way.
2. Steamboat Willie is also another interesting animation. I like how in sync the sound is with the animation, but in terms of how the animals were treated, it doesn’t seem appropriate for younger children. Overall, it’s still a nice animation, especially the famous Mickey Mouse whistling.
3. Fantasia is cute to see different characters or stories, but I’m still lost like does Fantasia have multiple films? I like the color schemes each scene because it matches the mood of what is happening.
4. Astro boy is another cute anime to see again, but its also interesting because it is in black and white which I love because it gives the old vibes. It also brought back a lot of my childhood seeing it in my grandma’s house when I was younger, but in color and I’ve never really watched it.
   

After reading Mcluhan’s “The Medium is the Massage,” it’s interesting how he wrote this. Throughout, the reading I felt so confused, like in the beginning like the page of YOU, the second question, ” Have you contemplated suicide?” was the craziest blow of woah to me and then when he suddenly said ” the older, traditional ideas of private, isolated thoughts and actions…” (6) gave off some type of control over me like old values being overpowered the smaller, like a monarchy. Through the images it is also interesting like seeing the big eye ball. Throughout the vibes were giving like 1984, like big brother having control over people. But it is interesting how there was a lot of words of how technology changes or his words “electric information” and how it may impact someone or something.
