Devious - Television

My words for the animation is:  The "Devious" - "Television".  The adjective devious means something angry, sneaky, tricky, evasive, errant, crooked, indirect e.t.c.

My main character for my animation will be of course the television.  It's movement and it's behavior will be dodgy and tricky (devious).  I want to achieve to match the movement and the behavior of my object in my story with the adjective devious.  


Influence can be taken from classic animations where the "bad" guy tries with devious and unwanted methods to achieve its goal. 

"Sylvester and Tweety" directed by Friz Freleng for Warner Bros.

Sylvester and Tweety is a classic example of an animation where Sylvester the "devious" character does everything he can by all means to achieve his goal to eat Tweety.  Even the fact he doesn't achieve it we can see his movement and his actions represent deviousness. I wouldn't characterize the character of Sylvester absolutely devious because when someone is devious it means that he is kind of "smart" with his methods and actions by achieving his goals. Although resemblance and influence can be taken from his actions and from his bloopers to the adjective "devious".

"Roadrunner" directed by Friz Freleng for Warner Bros.

Another example of a character using devious methods and trying evil things in order to achieve his goal is in the cartoon of "Roadrunner" the Coyote. The Coyote tries to catch the Roadrunner. Again i wouldn't characterize Coyote pure devious because everything he tries doesn't result in nothing but still his methods are devious.

-These classic animations are a great example of defining my adjective and also defining the movement and the behavior of the characters that try to act "devious" and use "devious" and evil ways to achieve their goals.
