10 - The Aesthetics of Cute

Well for me, based on my observation and research, people nowadays are having opinions about the Aesthetics of Cute. There are some authors of an article saying that not all cute things are adorable in the eyes of the people. For some people, the cute aesthetic thing that people make nowadays are somewhat horrifying and unappreciated because of how it looks. Now that it gave me so much curiosity, I made it a point that I had to research about this interesting topic.


I came to research an interesting article entitled The Aesthetics of Cute. It was made and authored by The Archives. According to this person, Cute is a thing that we accept as universal. There are specific phrases that people always say that most of us can all understand. These are the "That's Cute", "Make it Cute", and 'I want Cute." But for this person, your opinions with cute doesn't really have the same point of view with his or her opinion with cute. This person thought about it for quit some time already.One thing that he or she explained was that every time the Disney comes up, it would bring out the inner axe-murder in him or her. 


This person had to watch a Disney movie entitled Bambi. It was the first time that the author had watched this. He or she had watched just half of the movie. What happened after an hour was that he or she ran to the bathroom and threw up. This person wasn't able to take it. But this author had discovered something very interesting. There was this animated short called the " Old Mill." It was included also in the DVD. According to this author, the clip seemed nice. The animals there don't speak at all. They just behave and looked like normal animals. They are nonthreatening but proportionately cute animals. While on the other hand, The animals in the Bambi movie are sickeningly saccharine because of their huge eyes and long eyelashes. Also, they speak in juvenile voices and they do the shy glance thing like how Lady Diana does it. They actually behave like human beings but in a creepy contortionist kind of way.


According to the author, the movie Bambi and the movie The Old Mill were made within just a year. Knowingly, the author said that someone told him or her that The Old Mill was actually kind of a test for the animation and scenery of the movie Bambi. It left a wonder to this person that at what point did the animal characters become so hideously distorted with both the appearance and personality.


I had to say that this author really had so many comments to say about this movie Bambi. Obviously, he or she really didn't appreciate the movie. Well for me, there are some things that I disagree with this person's opinion. I myself enjoyed watching the movie Bambi. It was so fun and overwhelming to watch and plus, it was part of my childhood. I really liked how the animals were made in that movie. For me they were really adorable, not distorted like animal. But everyone has their own opinions. Every each of one of them has their own likes and dislikes.



"Is your Cute really my Cute?"

I actually agree on this important quote because I believe that not all human beings are attracted to the same cute thing. They all have their own specific admiration on cute things. Like for example you see an aesthetic cute thing but for the others it's hideous or ugly. They think that the cute appearance of it was distorted. 


For me, it's really interesting to know things about the opinions of other people. I get to learn things based on their insights about the topic. I can somehow compare some of the information's that they are giving. But what's great is that their are some authors who are against to this topic. I can now make some Pro's and Con's about this interesting topic.
