Fantastic Mr Fox:
It uses similar type of animation that we are using. It is effective because you can make something happen that you couldn't do if you were using real people. Also with live action you have to either create a set or find somewhere to film that has the kind of scenery you want, whereas with IStopMotion all you have to do is draw the set.
Analysis
This is the clip that we watched and analyzed, picking out key conventions for children's film.

The film attracts children as it uses animals, which children can relate to and like and it brings the fiction element to it. The bright colours also attract the children. It has slapstick comedy for the children but also word play comedy which would appeal to teenagers and adults. This makes it likely children will go watch it because their parents wont mind taking them.
As it is a film made from a book teenagers are more likely to go and watch it as lots of them will have read this when they were little children.
The actors in the film will also strongly attract an older audiences. It has some well known celebrities in it such as Meryl Streep and George Clooney, which are admired by an older audience. Although children wont appreciate the actors in it they will still want to see the film as it has other conventions that attract them.
The music in the trailer is upbeat but changes as the mood changes. This shows the viewers that it has more to it than just a comedy adventure. The voice over the top of the trailer sounds welcoming and friendly, something that children would want of a narrator.
