Based upon what you viewed within the Disney Mars cartoon excerpt, what are you thinking about comparatively between Disney's version of Mars and how it measures up to Bradbury's version of Mars?
Comparing Disney's version of Mars and Bradbury's, there is a fine difference. In Disney's version there are a lot more ideas on what life on Mars would be like, whereas Bradbury very much stuck to one simple idea. There were many different theories on martians in Disney's version, whereas Bradbury seemed very confident in his idea. The similarities consist of the idea that there is life on Mars, and it is easy to obtain if we put our minds to it.
The mars cartoon and the mars novel are very different inferences of the planet. In the cartoon the martians and shown as one eyed, strange creatures. In the novel, they “martians” are just like humans, but with yellow eyes and a few different features. It is cool to see how different both stories are. When I think of martians, I think of alien type things that take over Earth. Neither of the stories talk about aliens. The movie shows many different types of monsters, that are extremely smart. The novel describes people that are just like humans, just living on a different planet with a little bit of a different culture. In my head, I see martians closer to the show’s point of view. If there ever were real martians, I think that they would be more like aliens, rather than have human features.
A lot of the characters look different in their own unique ways in the Disney version. It is a lot more childish and hero/villain. In Bradbury's version it reminds me of a more dystopian atmosphere. It is a very mature text compared to the cartoon version.
The Disney Mars relates to a younger age range, whereas the Mars Novel relates to a older age group, is presents as more mature. The Disney Mars is all sorts of jokes and childish things, and the novel is much more serious and talks about more real world problems. The cartoon is all predicting, as through out the word "probably" is said several times. The cartoon is just making predictions on what people on Mars look like. In the novel the story is kind of told on what people of Earth would be like and how "funny" they look. The book is much more engaging for older audiences, and has a more gruesome plot. And in the cartoon, it isn't as violent, but has some violent elements to it. Such as a women running from the alien. It has a lot of events that younger children wouldn't understand, but it still appeals to a younger audience.
The disney video of how mars is verse Ray Bradburys idea of mars seems to be very different. The video shows a more childish almost innocent approach to mars and how martians are. They mars are more like monsters and look like animals. Theyre bright colors, sometimes fluffy and have big scary teeth. They also make it seem like the martians take humans. Bradbury's idea is very different. The martians are more human like. They communicate like humans, they have similar houses like humans, they do regular things like humans. Bradbury tried to show that maybe martians arent very different from humans than a company like Disney thinks of mars.
Comparing the video and the book, the book makes the martians appear more human like, acting civilized and living a life similar to ours. But in the video the creatures from mars are monsters and it appeared that the martians were animals and didn't have much intelligence.
This is sugar coating the book. The cartoon is a lot more like a movie and making the martians seem much more animal like. The reading is targeted for older audiences, and the cartoon is not. This is showing male dominance, and showing another example of how times have changed over time. The disney versions make the martians seem like unintelligent animals, and the book makes them look way more like intelligent human like.
In Disney's mars, creatures of mars are much different and much more hostile than humans. They also have flying saucers and make frequent trips to earth. In the Novel, martians are a lot more human like and do not make trips to earth. They have regular houses and are not as hostile as the martians in Disney's mars.
I think these two stories have similarities, but there are also the differences. In the Disney cartoon, it is easy to tell the difference, between the Martians and the Humans. In the reading it is hard to tell the difference, you automatically think one is one, just because of what it is doing and sounding like, when they are kinda both the same but are totally opposite people. In the Disney cartoon, the animals, were considered as child like, and in the book the animals were considered more mature. I also think the cartoon appeals to more children, and the book might be for more adults. In both the book and the cartoon in applies to imperialism, because of way the humans control everything.
Cartoon v. Novle In comparing the Novel and the cartoon it becomes clear that majority of writers, scientists, and people thought that if there were to be Martians they would be fantastic creatures. Bradbary, in contrary, thought that Martins would be more human like just colder. Robert Brain Thought Martians to be 10 feet, their favorite culture to be music, and they would inhale it through huge noises. HG Wells speculated that the plants were taller and thinner, the bugs larger, the animals covered in fur and feather in winter but not in summer. They thought the martians to be fantastic and animal like than anything else. Brabbary saw the Martians to be human like. They are a bit shorter, have dark skin, tawny eyes, bleach blond hair, and prefer to wear mask to hid their emotions.
In the Disney version of Mars they are making it seem like Martians are terrible beings or creatures with low intelligence and awful appearances. Mars was thought to be the world of bizarre creatures and, more of animals than humans. In Ray Bradbury’s version of what life on Mars is like, the Martians are very intelligent and are extremely human like, they have their own civilization and lives. As seen in the film, it seemed like all Martians were good for were abducting people from Earth. The hostile creatures in the video were completely different than the book. Bradbury had a way different perspective on what life could be like on a planet we don’t know much about.
In the book makes the martians seem more like humans. In the cartoon version the martians look more like animals, and there are multiple appearances of the martians in the cartoon. However the book's description of martians are human like but have differences from an actual human.
The cartoon version of Mars relates to the Mars Novel, but sort of doesn't. The Martians re pegged as villains in both versions. But in the novel Mars is more humanized one could say. In the book the martians are truly like humans whereas in the the cartoon they are like ferocious animals. In the novel also it is the humans that come to mars, not the other way around. It is the humans that try to colonize, the martians are not the other way around.
The Disney's Cartoons compared to the Martians on the Martians chronicles, while Disney has a bunch of ideas what life on Mars can be like. Bradbury has one idea what life on Mars could be like. There's one simple idea while Disney's cartoons have many different theories. Disney's Martians are alien looking while Bradbury is more of a human feature. Everyone has their point of views of Martians ideas.
Comparing the Mars cartoon to The Martian Chronicles, they dramatize martians make them sound like they are all deformed looking and evil when in the novel martians are very similar to our lifestyle and look almost exactly like us. In the cartoon they go off topic putting Donald Duck in there (it is a Disney cartoon though), in all cartoons they make the martians the villains and not so intelligent, but in the novel the martians are very intelligent and are not intending to hurt humans (other than the main characters husband).
Based on the cartoons the book is a lot more advanced, towards an older audience. The cartoon of Martians is for younger audience because its more comprehensible for younger kids to understand rather then the book. Another difference is the kids won't have to read a cartoon, which is like a show versus an older audience that wants to read more then watch. The cartoon is a lot less like reality, it breaks own the reality to make kids understand easily. The cartoon is making the martians seem more like creatures then human like aliens. The book interpenetrates things in a different way then the cartoon. In the book the martians seem much farther in technology and very human like with human like intelligence versus the cartoon which makes the martians seem dumbfounded.
The cartoon gives more of a child like sense. It relates more in the younger kids range, it also has the unique Disney touch to it since it is animated. Disney’s mars is full of fun and jokes and cute little monster martian type things. In Bradbury's version the martians are very human like and some of them seem to be from Earth a very long time ago. Bradbury had the martians living in human like houses and doing things very similar to us. This gives us the idea that if martians exist then they might not be as different from us as everyone imagines.
In the cartoon, the relationship between Earth and Mars is evident, and they know each other. They have a known relationship and communicate. In the novel, Mars and Earth only meet when people from Earth land on Mars. They do not have very many interactions even when they are on Mars. Also in the short video, Martians are vastly different from humans and have completely different body forms and plants, when in the book, they are rather similar with body shapes. The martians do have different colors of eyes, hair, and skin, but for the most part they are similar. Martians in the video have a different weird language, when the book has both humans and martians using the same language just different grammar. In the book, martians kill the two first expeditions, but in the short film, they are scary and chase humans. The book places the martians in a more mature sense and makes them seem a lot more educated and proficient in technology.
Comparatively, between the Disney’s cartoon version of mars and how it measures up to Bradley’s version is that in Bradley’s version he made them seem more lifelike and real and in the cartoon they made it seem childish. The cartoon version makes it seem like it was meant for little kids especially since Disney created it. Bradley made the characters more relatable to us.
The novel relates to the cartoon for various reasons. The cartoon states that weird octopus creatures came to Earth. In the novel, martians came on a expedition to Earth. The cartoon says that the octopus wanted to get away from Mars. They wanted to get away because there was war and conflict that they didn’t like. In the novel the humans wanted to go to Mars so they could have peace and not have to hear about the wars and politics. In one of the experts in the novel, a lady was dreaming about a man coming in a rocket thing to the valley to see her. This is like the disney cartoon because it said that the weird figures come on a flying saucer. They are both strange ways of transportation. The disney cartoon says that life is not available or worthy on Mars, whereas the novel is creating life on Mars.
Based on the Disney Mars cartoon, Bradbury’s version of Mars is by far more similar to life on Earth. For humans watching the cartoon, Bradbury’s version would be considered more realistic as it correlates with human behavior and civilization. Throughout the cartoon, misshaped little creatures bounced across the screen, each with different body parts and colors. Also, in the cartoon the “martians” were not able to speak, instead, they just made awkward noises and kept the viewers guessing. Whereas in Bradbury’s book, the communication that takes place between the martians is comprehensible. Bradbury’s martians have feelings and moods and human qualities that allow readers to better understand any given situation because we are able to relate to those emotions. On the other hand, in the cartoon the viewers were not able to tell what the creatures were feeling. There was no facial expression. The qualities of Bradbury’s martians in comparison to the cartoon martians’ erases all hardships from cartoon Mars because, despite the unknown creatures, the setting (of Mars) in the cartoon is light and playful. As oppose to Bradbury’s description, where Mars is set as an empty desert, where martians had to fend for themselves. Clearly, the difference between Bradbury’s vision of the martians and the way that the creator of the cartoon depicts them influences how we perceive the martians as well as Mars.
