Is It Art?

I think it is very interesting how old television shows that the younger generation would never watch can have so much affect on the newer television shows. The Yellow Submarine has a very similar plot to the episode of "Hush" in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The only difference is that the monster in The Yellow Submarine is something called a blue meanie instead of a vampire. Another difference is how it was made. In Buffy, they use airbrush and a warping program to make the effects seem real and almost somewhat believable. The Yellow Submarine on the other hand, "can at times be weak as it relates to animation, with too many stills and many grainy, jumpy movements" (Moeller 100). So the only difference between these two shows seem to be the change of characters and the newer effects. I think its very interesting that those two things can make this episode appeal to the younger generation of viewers.
