Cartoon theory, a prelude to comedy, drama, & mystery. A simplistic view of the theory behind cartoons, and how that basic principle can be applied to other forms of television and film. Cartoons in itself is a very simple theory to understand. One very important basic ingredient, "laugh-able colorful characters. One other very important trait to include, "colorful & majestic," scenery that will entice the viewer. You see, with cartoons, there does not necessarily need to be a particular format of rhyme or reason, short story telling is fine. One verse/segment in a cartoon can be as short as a few minutes, as long as it includes, laughter, colorful characters, and interaction by the voices and jest between the fictitious.There can be multiple dialogues/direction (story lines) encasing a plot, used for sitcom, or in a movie (film). Similar to scenes found in a short story, the same theory will be applied in a book of short stories, and/or a comedian on stage performing his / her act. Everything is a story, not necessarily parallel to each other. Eventually if the writer chooses, they can be shown to have some similarities that shows some form of bonding. Television principles has relied on the premise of telling a story(plot) applying the same formatting principles since its inception . This dark way of thinking has bought a slow halt to the advancement of creativity in many forms of entertainment. It is not until that paradigm is finally put to rest, that new forms of enjoyable, creative entertainment will be developed, think creative entertainment.
