Research Questions

Here are our research questions for this project. Please remember when writing a post that it needs to tie into one of these (and the overall theme of censorship, as well).

  1. What was the intent or purpose of cartoons of the past? Of the present? How has it changed, and why?
  2. What considerations regarding potential censorship and social norms go into creating cartoons today? How much does a potential cartoon-writer self-censor?
  3. What can and can't you do in animation today? In the past?
  4. How do the makers of cartoons deal with controversy regarding their creations?
  5. How do we deal with the offensive material found in cartoons of the past?
