It was produced by Pixar Animation Studios which has produced films like Monster, Inc. Pixar Animation Studios is based in California, USA and was formed into a corporation in 1986 by as Pixar Animation Studios. They are best known for computer animation such as CGI. The target audience for (For the Birds) is generally for children but can seem funny and amusing by older audience members. The purpose of the animation is to entertain and amuse young audience members. It could also show the message of bullying and how "what goes around, comes around".   I like how even though it's only 3min 27secs long it still makes me laugh and provides a short memorable sequence you won't forget.

The film was created for older kids and young teens but have some aspects for older audience members. The purpose of the animation was to create entertainment while bringing a classic book "Tarzan of the Apes" alive on our screens. I really enjoyed this film because it was one of the first animation films I ever saw as a kid and the music just brought every scene to life. Music by Phil Collins.

The program originated from America and grew in popularity so much that it came over to England and other countries.  It was aimed at adults due to all the blood and violence.

 Directed by Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland and first aired 5th March 2001. The band was formed in 1998 and was an English musical, visual project. The band members are all cartoons and where created using 2D animation software. All of their songs videos are animated which in my opinion was a fresh new idea at the time. The genre for their type of music is alternative rock and alternative hip hop. I generally like this band as I used to listen to them when I was younger.
