Animation in relation to audience

Presto
Pixar (2008)



This animation appeals to an audience of both children and adults as usually all pixar films do.
The cute loveable character of the rabbit appeals to children of a young age and will find the slapstick humour quite funny and will keep them entertained.
Adults will also enjoy this because of the slapstick humour involved but also because the style of the introduction is styled upon early Disney cartoons of the 1950s-1960s and will make them reminisce of when they were children watching similar cartoons of slapstick values, featuring appealing characters.
The CGI style of the animation is typical of a modern animated feature, and is smoothly rendered and pleasing to the eye. It features dim lighting as it’s set in a theatre and spotlights focus upon the action of the main characters. It is fast paced and full of action, keeping everyone entertained.



Love Hina
Xebec (2000)



The suitable audience for this animation is teenagers aged from mid to late teens, most likely male. This is because it deals with subjects of university entrance exams, dating and a male living in an all-girls dormitory, and all are shown in a comedic style.
It features a lot of innuendoes and quick rude humour which again would not be suitable for people younger than mid-teens.
It is made in the style of Anime as it is of Japanese origins, so more of the slapstick humour and witty lines are more understandable by a Japanese audience and their culture, but Otaku who follow Anime and Japanese culture closely will be able to understand.
It is very eccentric, full of colour and features a range of varied characters all with funny characteristics.



Robot Chicken
Williams Street Studios / Ghost Planet Industries (2005)


Robot Chicken - Six Flags Guy from SpeCT on Vimeo.

This is a stop-motion animated series shown on the Adult Swim channel. It features short comic sketches acted out by animated dolls. These comic sketches usually mock popular culture and references toys, tv shows, films and popular trends. Topics that would be found funny by teenagers in their late teens to young adults.
The use of dolls who have cut-out mouths are posable in positions and can move in quite comic ways. This gives the animation a visual style not found in any other animation out there.
It is original and gives a suitable amount of entertainment whilst remaining short (episode duration of about 10-15 mins).



Babar
Nelvana/The Clifford Ross Company (1989)



This cartoon is aimed at a very young audience. It follows simple styled characters following the adventures and challenges undergone by Babar the young elephant. It is colourful and the stories contain morals for growing and developing children.
