Fact About Cartoons

Happy Chinese New Year, I would like to take this chance to thank all those for viewing this blog. I have just read some very interesting topics on cartoons and would like to share some with everyone^^ Do you know, kids at the age of 3 to 6 is actually known as the golden age and providing knowledge to them now is very useful since they can absorb the informations almost immediately. But, sad to say, children this small can't quite understand what the parents try to pass to them even if the parents tried half dead. By this time, you can let them see some cartoons that is education based. According to research , more than 60% of the children in the world pick up their foundation in language and study interest from cartoons. Why, this is because cartoons characters can do some silly stuff which cannot be done by human beings, therefore the child find it interesting and will pick up the things spoken by them with time. The downside of this is the child also pick up the bad things from the cartoons. According to another research on why a lot of people is obsesses of cartoon even in their old age is because in cartoons, they can find things which is beyond their reach but yet they still want it because their urge for it haven't subsided. Besides that, cartoons can emotionally relax a people's mind because some cartoons like the classics, Anastasia, Hercules etc have wonderful musics. Cartoons can also imply moral values to kids especially those who like to watch cartoon frequently. Well, thats all for now. Cheers^^

Anastasia-Story of Magic and Recovery

Anastasia is a quite old cartoon, production of 20th Century Fox but it is a very good classic base on the true story of the last princess of Russia, Anastasia Nikolaevna. This story begins with the introduction of the grand atmosphere of the Romanov family. During that party, everyone is said to be "shining brightly" by the Empress of Russia but none "shone" brighter than her granddaughter, Anastasia. Everyone was having their hell of a time but nothing good ever last. The happy atmosphere was bring to a halt when the wicked monk, Rasputin emerges before the Romanov to seek revenge for banishing him. Along with him, he brought a weird cylinder which marks the trade of Rasputin with the devil. He eventually sold his soul so that he can have his revenge. He bestowed a curse on the Romanov's saying that all of them will die overnight. As the old saying goes "no evil ever prevails", his curse was not able to be completed due to the escape of Anastasia and the Empress with the help of the kitchen boy, Dimitri but Anastasia dropped her music box when escaping through the wall. When boarding the escape train, Anastasia tripped and fell, knocking her head in the process and was unable to join her grandmother in Paris. Ten years later, after the revolution of Russia, everybody is living through scraps but the rumors of the survival of Anastasia never fades. Dimitri, now a handsome young man along with his friend, Vlad went on a quest to seek out a good duplicate of Anastasia. On the other hand, a beautiful damsel who was raised in the orphanage and have completely no idea of her past, Anya set out on her own journey to seek the truth. Along the way, she met a dog, Pooka which brings her to Saint Petersburg where she stumbles among the two gentlemen. At first sight, Dimitri knew that Anya would play the perfect role of the duplicate Anastasia because according to him, Anya possesses the Romanov's blue eyes. Together, they went on a journey to seek their own fate but unknown to them, the story unwraps in a rather special way. I highly recommend this cartoon to everyone since it is a good combination of fantasy, love, courage, brain and etc. Hope you enjoy it too^^
