P2. HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT FIT INTO CURRENT TRENDS
The Powerpuff Girls have also made an impact as there's three main characters, the strong one, the leader and the sweet one and we could categorise Ridley, Oliver and Carlos. Carlos being the strong one, Ridley the sweet one and Oliver being the leader.
Its slightly different to some of the stuff thats made nowadays as the main character is a muffin which is a food type and you don't really see that in cartoon, you're more likely to see humans or animals but not often you get to see a muffin. Most people like muffins making it more likeable for children and more entertaining due to the fact that they have probably never seen a talking muffin with a top hat and a moustache.
The main girl is called Ridley which was made as a mixture of Venellope and Agne and she's a shy and very quiet girl who's friendly and sweet yet stubborn, this could fit into the current place as most young girls are like this and even teenagers.
The themes of friendship, love, zombie apocalypse and so on will be shown but blood or uncomfortable scenes will never been shown. This will appeal to both genders as girls love the theme of friendship and so do boys and there is also some zombie apocalypse which will get the attention of mor male to female stereotypically speaking.
The grumpy muffin fits with the current trends but at the same time it includes new things is such as the fact that the main character is a muffin.
I would like to show this product on Cartoon Network as many well known series are being shown there.
It would be on the screen from 16.00-16.30 therefore children will be back from school and most of them will be watching Tv before its dinner time, then again at 18.00-18.30 which means children would have finished dinner and maybe even done their homework which shouldn't take long as theyre young then they could watch TV again.
Also as it shows at half 6 means that teenagers could watch it too as they would be back from college.

P2. TARGET AUDIENCE
Target Audience:
Age: 10
Gender: male
Name: Daniel
He is interested in videogames and also going out to the park to play with his friends. He will start school next year which will mean that him and his friends will talk about tv series such as the grumpy muffin which will help the series promote.
He goes to bed at 8pm but he is allowed to read his own book until 9pm which helps him get to sleep a lot quicker.
He plays tennis after school every tuesday with his friend Kyle, he also goes on bike rides with his mum on the weekends if the weather its good, if its not then he will stay indoor watching tv with his parents or playing videogames such as Lego Marvel Super Heroes.
He gets home then plays with his brother until dinner time, then after dinner he sits on the sofa and watches Adventure Time, Sponge Bob, Regular Show and The Amazing World Of Gumball.
He enjoys Adventure Time more than any of the other series above as he finds Jake really funny as he farts and always jokes around with Finn.
He plays on his tablet, mainly Pet Rescue, Minecraft and Knights and Dragons, and sometimes he watches vines too.
The animation will appear to Daniel because it will have the same humor as Adventure Time and The grumpy muffin and Ridley go on adventures. There is also a lot of action and fights between Oliver (the grumpy muffin) and Carlos (the baddie)
He will also like it because its entertaining and the characters are also quite odd such as the grumpy muffin with a top hat and so on.He gets money sometimes which he then spends on sweets at the corner shop but he gets quite a lot for christmas and his birthday.

P2. REPRESENTATION AND ETHICS IN CARTOONS
He believes Rio is problematic as there are a few hints or racism throughout the film and even throughout some of the disney films.
You can see this by how the main characters are white such as Anna Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg and Jemaine Clement. Then the character who are slightly more tanned go after them in terms of importance then the darkest at the bottom which shows racism really clear even if its not visible in the film.
PEP's
Problem Contexts, Entertainment Contexts and Performer Contexts.
Meaning that its racist that black people have a role in a film as a 'normal' character and that they should play an important role in the film even if they are not the hero, that what Dr.Charles Da Costa has found out as a British lecturer.
They go for the safe option which is stereotypes, meaning that whenever you think of a mexican you imagine a guy, a tanned guy wearing a sombrero and maybe a moustache.
He says that it seems like social mobility is only allowed to white people.

Voice Over
Voice Over:
The character im doing the voice over is the protagonist The Grumpy Muffin who is very grumpy, anti-social, lazy, sarcastic, funny and very neat.
The 3 qualities the character must have is a clear voice so its easy to understad, have an american accent and the kind of tone that gives away how grumpy he is.
My dream cast for the Grumpy muffin would be Robert Downey Jr because his voice its quite deep and i think he could do a great grumpy voice.
He is mostly know for playing as Iron Man but he's been in some other great films such as Sherlock holmes , Gothika, Tropic Thunder, Due Date and The Avengers.
This is Don Rickles who did the voice for Mr. Potatohead in Toy story and i believe he suits the character well and could easily do a grumpy voice for the grumpy muffin.
