Don't Hug Me I'm Scared Review

I've watched the "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" video many times, and despite the creepy psychotic antics that are going on in the video, I think the film speaks some truth about how children's media shapes the mind of its viewers. The whole film looks like a typical children's show. The notebook is trying to teach the other characters how to be creative. I think that is kind of showing how children's media are trying to shape it's viewers ideas in a specific way, and if you do not think the way that they think is acceptable, then you are wrong. I find it interesting that when the yellow puppet is excited because he is being creative, and makes this painting of a clown the notebook kind of reprimands him for this. He tells him to slow down on his creativity, to me that is showing that your own creativity is not necessarily going to be accepted, you have to think a specific way in order for you to be accepted. Also, in the video you see the characters begin to grow up, and get older, I think that is showing how the media has taken over the minds of the viewers and have manipulated them into being whatever the show intended for them to be. I think overall, there is a lot of subtle things going on in the film that is a look into how children's media sometimes works, which is kind of sad to be honest.
