Importance in XX century.

The importance that we give to the cartoons in the XX century is the next.

The cartoons, for many years have been a entertenmeint for a lot of kids in the world and adults too.

Now, we do only to kind of cartoons, the manga(orient), and the pictures of Walt Disney(occident), because are two of the most important creations in the last century.

Disney pictures, broke the walls of the animations, doing films with the ultimate innovation tecnology in animation. Was the first company how made picture with, sound, color and computer animation.

Manga, for other side, was an important influence for the movies(Matrix) and another artistic movements. And another thing, it´s the fact that manga made influence in all the children of the world, for bad or good, series like Robotech, Pokemon, Dragon ball move the feelings of a lots of persons.

Another important thing, it´s that, thanks to the cartoons, a lot of other things could made, for example Disneyworld, the diferents toys of the toons, and diferent things, that why we made the conclusion that Cartoons was important for the next century.

Conclucion.

We concluded with this work, that Manga and Disney picture have an aspect in comun, that the two talk about Fantasy things, the two show fun, happiness, an a way to escape from the reality.

To the kids, the Disney pictures are a good enterteinment, with things that help them to liberate their minds and play with their dreams. And manga the same, with a futurist version of the world, or a diferent way to see the things, the simple things like the angels, in manga we can think of a fight of angels in the world(X), and the pets, in Manga we can dreams about pets with diferents power that fight with other pets to wins experience(Pokemon).

And the cartoons open a door to all the world, we can see the diferents cultures across a picture or a comic book, and we can learn about this cultures, reading or watching the Cartoons.

With the cartoons, we can see how ours dreams come truth, and we can feeling tath we are the hero of the fight, or we are the beautiful Prince, we can fly away to another space etc.

Finaly, we think that cartons was the most beatiful way to see the wonderful things in the the world.
