Abstract

Animation is a popular art in the form of enlightenment that intimately approaches people of various ages and makes them reconsider the social problems they have ignored. Therefore, this paper analyzes how the character setting and formative symbolism in "The Willoughbys" raise awareness of social agendas. The previous studies found that the modern society needs to be aware of child abuse and various types of family, and examined that color and formativeness of animation induce psychological and behavior change from the audience. The work shows emotional abuse and neglect as characters, and presents the subdivided form of the family. The rainbow symbolizes diverse family members. The agents with visual characteristics express the modern principle-based secondary perpetrator along with apathetic neighbors to urge a change in audience perception. This paper insists the value of animation when it is essential to raise public awareness prior to the construction of a welfare society and support system.

애니메이션은 계몽 형태의 대중예술로서 다양한 연령대에게 쉽게 다가가 그들이 외면하는 사회문제를 재고찰하게 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 애니메이션 <윌러비 가족>의 캐릭터 설정과 조형의 상징성이 사회 의제의 인식 제고 방안으로써 작용하는지 분석했다. 현대의 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있는 아동학대와 가족 형태의 수용 필요성에 대한 실태를 파악했으며, 애니메이션의 색채와 조형성은 관객의 심리적 감동과 변화를 유도한다는 선행 연구를 살펴봤다. 작품은 아동학대 유형 중 정서적 학대와 방임을 캐릭터로 보여주며, 가족의 형태를 세분화했다. 조화로운 색채의 무지개는 다양한 가족 구성원을 상징했으며, 각진 형태와 차가운 푸른색의 조형적 특징으로 이루어진 고아국 요원은 무관심한 이웃과 함께 현대의 원칙주의적인 2차 가해자로 표현하여 관객의 인식변화를 촉구한다. 본 논문은 복지사회 건설과 지원체계에 앞서 국민적 인식 제고가 필수인 시점에 사회 의제를 작품으로 표현하여 관객의 문제 인식을 깨우칠 수 있는 애니메이션의 가치를 제시하고 있다.
