Big Blue Planet versus The Little Mermaid and Ponyo

ADD BBC FOUR BIG BLUE PLANET, LITTLE MERMAID AND PONYO (DATES) LINK:

This documentary series reveals that at least 80% of sea creatures remain undiscovered, and the most recent findings of fish can act as one of the most inspirational art forms for animators on this course. For instance, when considering the various and wondrous animated works forming characters of Walt Disney's Little Mermaid - created by a mixture of observing fish motion and a great amount of animation - it appears that their bringing life to mythological aquatic creatures was born out of the inspiration drawn from their findings. Furthermore, the development process of Studio Ghibli's Ponyo shows an in depth investigation into the fascinating art and motions of sea creatures. Therefore, venturing into the unexplored crevices of this world is certainly a rich resource that students here can draw from for ideas of animation - even the depths of one's own mind.
