Television

A clip from 500 Days of Summer--http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgVNgYXFi_Q

The length of the video: 1:51

A description of the video
: This video is of a boy who has just experienced young love for the first time. He ends up dancing [to the song You Make My Dreams Come True] all over town while on his way to work, drawing others in to dance with him. He even draws in a bird!
the name of the corresponding chapter in our textbook: Movies: Magic From the Dream Factory

Question
: Why is an animated bird shown interacting with the character who is dancing down Main Street?

Answer
: The character is depicted as a hopeless romantic. The image of the bird is similar to the animated birds in Walt Disney's Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and Beast.
