Political Issues in Animated Series

Our group, Morgan Simmons, Shaquette Drayton, and Joni Hoke, will be doing a project based on cartoons/animated series that feature political and social issues. Some of those shows include, Futurama, Family Guy, The Boondocks, and South Park. We will also look at how newspaper editorial cartoons evolve into animated series. Our goal is to produce a movie with elements of song incorporated. We will also make the public aware of the political and social influences these shows have.

The jobs for the project include researching the different animated shows to find political and social issues and messages, finding matching news commentaries, putting the research (clips) in a movie format, and editing the material.

Because everyone was not able to attend class, we did not assign tasks to anyone as of yet.
We will shortly.
