There She Is!! Online Animated Shorts and their potential in a Classroom?

Hey guys. I know this is a bit off topic from what we are discussing in class at the moment but I would have posted this sooner if I had access to the blog. I mentioned in class about a series of animated shorts that I thought would be good to present in a classroom. It is a series of of Korean Flash videos entitled Ddautta (Translated as There She Is).

The story takes place in a Korean like enviroment inhabited by anthropomorphic cats and rabbits. The main characters are Nabi (a male cat identified with a green scarf) and Doki ( a female rabbit identified with a pink bow). Through the course of the videos the two meet and bond but they are met with opposition from those who do not approve of their relationship. I don't want to spoil too much so I'm going to keep the plot summary at that. Important to note that there is no spoken dialogue and that the story using just the animation and the music.

When I first saw this Flash series, I was truly shocked at its overall message at the end of the last two videos, especially comparing it to the silly cartoon like attitude of first episode. However, I can say with utmost certainty that I would not have had the same impact watching this series out of order. From what I've been able to gather from the posts on its originating website is that the conflict shown in later episodes actually stems from a internal culture conflict in Korea. I may have to do more research on this but I'll try to get back to you on what I find.

I'm going to give you guys a link to the videos and you can watch them at your leisure.

Each episode is categorized into different Steps (Example: Step 1=Episode 1)

After watching each Step, I want to hear your thoughts on this series. What kind of class would benefit from showing something like this? Would it relate to teens in high school? (Personally, I think it would be great to show in an english or history class discussing racism).

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the shorts as much as I did and I can't wait to hear your responses.
