This week is a group discussion on the topic of critical reporting. Many students put forward a lot of interesting topics, and I also got some useful suggestions and references. This critical report discusses how to personify non-human characters in animation in terms of appearance, expression, body language and humanity. Combining academic articles with actual animated films can make the analysis of this paper more convincing. I chose Zootopia, Wall-E and The Secret Life of Pets as the reference of animation resources for this critical report. There are a lot of different anthropomorphic non-human characters in these movies. At the same time, I also read some academic articles about anthropomorphic characters to analyze the different anthropomorphic designs of non-human characters in animation.
