Jungle book- 1967 VS 2016 Production

-
What are the differences in the timeline of production for Jungle Book 1967 and Jungle Book 2016? 2016: created on computers (CGI); focused more on Mowgli's background Animation version appears dated, in large part because it appears to use the Xeroxing Method, but that doesn't detract from the great story Disney had created. 1967: was 78 mins long- production costs and cinema running availability- not everyone has a TV (DVD)    2. What technologies were used on the 1967 production? They used a multiplane camera which created an illusion of depth which helped make animated films look more interesting and realistic.They won an engineering academy award.

  Gilroy- theories about ethnicity and post-colonialism OCR definition:   - The African diaspora caused by the slave trade has now constructed a transatlantic culture that is simultaneously African, American, Caribbean and British – the ‘Black Atlantic’.   - Britain has failed to mourn its loss of empire, creating ‘postcolonial melancholia’, an attachment to an airbrushed version of British colonial history, which expresses itself in  criminalising  immigrants and an ‘us and them’ approach to the world founded on the belief in the inherent superiority of white western  civilisation .   Context:   During 1500’s to the 1900’s there was a period of colonialism:   Colonialism - taking over another country to run and exploit it   - Britain did this a lot of countries such as India,  Caribbean , and parts of Africa by sailing  and  installing  their own  military ,  soldiers  and government to act as though they owned that country, leading the people to obey the B ritish. This was done in a
