Film Review: The Incredibles (2004) - The Hero's Journey Archetypes

-
Image
Figure 1. 'The Incredibles Movie Poster' From the world famous Disney Pixar Studios comes an all time family classic about a super family forced to conceal their super identities to keep the world normal and safe. But when an unexpected force threatens the norm, it’s up to The Incredibles (2004) to save the day. Directed by Brad Bird, The Incredibles (2004) can be identified as a Hero’s Journey film, with examples of character archetypes that are associated with the Hero’s Journey concept. We begin our journey with Bob Parr, also known as Mr Incredible. He had a career as a superhero in his glory days, but then is reduced to the mundane life of a “normal” man after the Superhero race was cast out of society and forced into hiding. Bob is one of the main protagonists of the story, therefore he is also, ironically, the Hero . We journey with him to experience his ups and downs and his steps on becoming once again, Mr Incredible. He could also, in a way, be considere...

Film Review: Disney’s Hercules (1997) - The Hero’s Journey

Figure 1. Hercules (1997) The mythical wonder that is Disney’s ‘ Hercules (1997) ’, titled after the main character himself, has graced our screens for all these years, and yet, it still manages to dazzle our eyes with extreme colour and filled our ears with musical joy.

With immense strength and cheerful disposition, the realm of Gods seemed tranquil for a moment with the new arrival to the godly line-up. However, that happiness would be short lived, when the ever jealous Hades, lord of the underworld, would turn the small child in to a mortal.

After becoming mortal and being adopted by two...

Film Review: Dreamworks' "Rise of the Guardians" (2012) - Character Archetypes

-
Image
Figure 1. “Rise of the Guardians”  Dreamworks’ “Rise of the Guardians” (2012), directed by Peter Ramsey, is a whimsical telling of classic fairytales and myths in a modern style. It appears that the film is sort of an Avengers style visualisation of something that most people wouldn’t normally associate with ancient beings of folk lore and bedtime stories. With its cheerful disposition and colourful settings, it’s a classic for all of the family to enjoy. It can be noted that this film has incorporated The Hero’s Journey into its script, and so it will therefore also incorporate the theory of character archetypes. Character archetypes are personality descriptors for characters in creative media. The idea is to explore this theory within “Rise of the Guardians” (2012). Figure 2. “Jack Frost creating mischief” The story begins with who we can assume is our ‘Hero’ of the story, Jack Frost. It is a mystery as to where he originated from or who he is at this time,...
