L'homme sans tete ( The man without head)
This short film is a french film which follows a man without a head, and has the moral of it's what on the inside that counts.
This short film follows Todorovs theory:
Equilibrium : Is the normality of him living his day to day life without a head.
Disequilibrium: Is him needing/ wanting a head to impress a woman.
New equilibrium : Is him realising that he doesnt need a head.
Todorov's theory is used in most childrens films for example in disney films becuase it's a simplistic way of creating a story with the structure of having a equilibrium, dis equilibrium and new euqilibrium it shows a structure that children are used two also it shows children the moral that every cloud has a silver lining and that everything will be fine in the end what parents want also to apply to their childrens life.
Finding nemo: A clown fish named Marlin living in the Great Barrier Reef loses his son, Nemo, after he ventures into the open sea, despite his father's constant warnings about many of the ocean's dangers. Nemo is abducted by a boat and netted up and sent to a dentist's office in Sydney. So, while Marlin ventures off to try to retrieve Nemo, Marlin meets a fish named Dory, a blue tang suffering from short-term memory loss. The companions travel a great distance, encountering various dangerous sea creatures such as sharks, anglerfish and jellyfish, in order to rescue Nemo from the dentist's office, which is situated by Sydney Harbor. While the two are doing this, Nemo and the other sea animals in the dentist's fish tank plot a way to return to Sydney Harbor to live their lives free again.
