Introduction
A. Walt Disney Feature
Animation-Mulan(1998)
B. Thesis: Breaking laws of Physics allows animators to
create hilarious scenes and manifest animations’ key points.
II-
Body
A.
Exaggeration creates laughing points.
1.
When Mulan’s grandma goes across the street with
her eyes closed, two carriages run into each other and leave a ruin of
explosion.
2.
In the avalanche scene, the big fat guy Chein-Po
holds all the guys up with a relaxed expression on his face.
3.
One blow of fire burns out all the feathers of
the evil hawk in half of a second.
4.
When the Stone Dragon falls apart because of
Mushu, the upper part remains still on the air, when the lower part has fallen
to the ground already.
5.
Shan-yu uses his head to break the roof of
palace.
B.
Playing around with the aw of Inertia can emphasize
characters’ physical-ability.
1.
When Mulan jumps out from her horse, she lands
without any inertial effect.
2.
When Mulan’s comrades are trained above water on
the wooden stickers, they bump into each other and maintain on the air for a
long time.
C.
Impossible Force and Force Reaction.
1.
A kite flies Mushu and the cricket directly to
the firework’s tower without any strong and “obedient” winds.
2.
When everybody is trying to escape from the avalanche,
Ling’s hat fly really high without a reasonable force.
3.

2m x 6m stone lion to break the door.
4.
The collapsed pillar of the palace is made of
wood, but it stays still when Mulan is standing on one end of it.
III. Conclusion
A.
Breaking law of physic helps story telling and
create funny scene.
B.
We as animator should know the start points and
bottom line to break law of physic.
