Considering Satire and the Clergy in Popular Contemporary British Animation
This essay constructs an analysis on the influence of satirical mainstream media shows. The key show mostly utilised in particular being Popetown, which formulates mockery of the Catholic faith and stereotypes. The author uses quotes from Vincent Nichola, a fan of the Pope as evidence of the negative disapproval of the show Popetown. This has provoked a high proportion of criticism from the Catholic church. The author has used comparisons between The Simpsons satire and South Park satire, which completely differ as South Park satire is more provocative. Another media mentioned is Monkey Dust, which is also a satire show known for its dark humour like South Park.

Woody’s Roundup and Wall-E’s Wunderkammer
Technophilia and Nostalgia in Pixar Animation
This essay explores the critique of how technology has replaced human labour in the media which replicates the same replacement in real life. Albeit the author of the essay does acknowledge Princess and The Frog, a 2D DIsney animated film. A notable example the author used for the technology replacement concept was Toy Story series, which has a key plot of replacement for all movies. Toy Story 3 in particular demonstrates the technological replacement as Andy grows into an adult going to college and Andy's little sister, Molly isn't even interested in the toys either despite being the target demographic for them. Instead Molly is interested in her MP3 player and Andy's old computer and video games.
The author also proposes the technology replacement in WALL-E. WALL-E being the last of his kind and all the other technological replicates of him are no longer working. EVE's advanced technology caused problems and was her downfall. The author notes that this is a criticism of modern technology's problems and scepticism.

Through the Looking Glass
The Self-Portrait of the Artist and the Re-Start of Animation
This essay is about self-portrayal of the creator. The author begins with self-portraits of artists during the early times when there was no cameras to visually get proper portrayal and thus were only confined to mirrors. The author explains that during The Ressanance times, artists such as Durero and Hans Holbein made a living off painting customers in a way that reflects their clothing or occupation. This idea of self-portrait extended into media during Little Nemo made in 1911, where the creator Winsor McCay is the protagonist of the film.
