Essential Questions
How have modes of communication been a reflection of history and society?
In the case of this documentary, the film is used as a celebration and recognition of a world that is often forgotton. It reflects on how the world of the puppetters had an influence on one generation and how that generation now lives to inspire a new one. This form of communication passess love and laughter to children. When the documentary shows them working on the film, th labrynth, many of us might scoff at the poor graphics that would be produced by the film. What is so easily missed is how much fun everyone seems to have working with these creatioms, and how much passion and attention is poured into every detail.
This shows how our modes of communication may have evolved, but our values also seem to have changed as well. Yet it is not totally lost, people still cling to these characters from their childhood, and pass them on to their children. Such as the cookie monster, and ms. piggy. Even with the evolution of our communications, we still have a respect for and cling to the communications of our past. Puppets will never simply be done away with.
How have modern modes of communication been perceived and recieved by the global community?
As illustrated by the major tickle me elmo franchise, puppets are still widely appreciated around the world. Characters such as Elmo, create a sense of nastalgia in the global community. The thing about puppets is that they mimick human emotions, and speech, making them more alive and closer to humans than a text or phone could ever be. With that, puppets are able to better communicate emotions such as love than can a computer because it has the ability to proved a hug or a kiss.
