** INDIVIDUAL INDEPENDENT STUDY PLAN ** **Proposed IS Title:** **Summary of IS:** **The 4 Key Films I will focus on are:**
 * 1) **Spirited away [Japan - Year]**
 * 2) Toy Story 3 [US - 2010]
 * 3) UP [US - 2009]
 * 4) Howl's Moving Castle [Japan - Year]
 * Summary of each film and Explanation of how each film will support my thesis:** **Further 8 films for additional study and evidence:**
 * 1) Toy Story 3 - this film is darker than any other Pixar has done especially the end sequence with the incinerator. Miyazaki tends to infuse his films with powerful imagery which sets tone, and empowers scenes, so here does Pixar.


 * 1) Kang Fu Panda -


 * 1) The clone wars -adaptation of Princess Mononoke


 * 1) Cowboy Bebop, samurai champloo, ninja scroll


 * 1) The Iron Giant


 * 1) UP - the flying house
