Narrative


Narrative: (Pixar short film

Equilibrium - The setting is on a side of a cliff on a very sunny day. By the end of the clip, the weather gets foggy.

Disruption - The disruption is that his dream if to be able to fly but he knows he cant without wings

Recognition of disruption -  Realising he cant fly without wing, he starts attaching trees to the side of the cliff so that when he finally dives down, it will look like he's flying normally.

Attempt to repair disruption - After the kiwi works his whole life preparing the trees in place, knowing he's going to die when he falls, he prepares himself to fly and accomplish his dream.

Reinstatement of equilibrium - He fulfils his dream and flies however sadly resulting in death.

Vladimir Propp stated that any story, there has to be a limited number of character types, with whom each of them have their own purpose in the film. The types of characters include the hero, the heroine/princess, the villain, the princesses father, the donor/mentor and the helper that assists the hero through his adventure. For this short film there is no hero, princess, mentor, helper or princesses father. There is only a villain and normal characters. In Disney's film Aladdin they have all of the characters.
