My Dissertation Abstract

I've just rewritten this. As far as I can tell an abstract is basically explaining what my dissertation is about in very few words. Basically sounds like a cut down version of my introduction but oh well.



Abstract

This dissertation will focus on the use of anthropomorphism and specifically its use in animated cats.

This is will be done by looking at how anthropomorphism can and has been used in the past and present in different cultures and styles of animation including any opposition to the use of anthropomorphism.

Anthropomorphised cats cannot just act well and like a human but also have to retain cat’s emotional and physical features so the study of acting, cat behavior and body language is a key area of research in this dissertation.

This study also looks at a book based on anthropomorphised animals and a film based on it, specifically, The Jungle Book. This is to look at how and why Disney changed the story and made the most of their characters using anthropomorphism.
