• Introduction

  • Entities do not follow laws of Gravity.

  • Forces do not react correctly with each other.

  • The durability of objects and surfaces fluctuate throughout the film.

  • Thesis statement.

• Entities do not follow laws of Gravity.

  • Frogs in beginning

    • States in the beginning to audience that this will not be physically correct

  • Gentlemen Meet

    • Seat pulled by French man

      • For humor

    • falling plant

      • For anticipation and pacing

    • Glove slap to Initiate duel.

      • To push the emotion of the situation

    • FeFe's blast from canon

      • To emphasize comedy

• Forces do not react correctly with each other.

  • Glove hitting face

    • Gloves material seems unrealistic

  • Robots entrance

    • ground shakes but robots seem to not be has heavy as they initially are portrayed

  • when French robot first punches British one

    • ground is unaffected

  • when the British robot shoves the French robot back

    • ground unaffected

  • garden sliding is pretty accurate

    • but when the British robot slides in the garden the garden is destroyed

  • they run into each other, but pilots are unaffected

    • another technique used to be able to further the story

    • if they died. The story is over.

• The durability of objects and surfaces fluctuate throughout the film.

  • Parts of statue affecting robots more than umbrella

  • Castle

    • castle is never crushed

  • robots

    • don't get damaged

  • lightening not effecting the British robots as well as the French robot

• Counter Argument: Can Some of this Stuff be possible

  • Refer back to garden scene (or just mention it here)

  • animation of motion vs the properties of the actual object

    • Statues

    • robots

  • What Ifs

    • what the robots made of

    • what I am assuming but do not know

    • If it was real

      • would not be as good or debut the studios animation capabilities

• Conclusion

  • conclude main points

  • restate hypothesis
