Outline: The Laws of Physics in an Animated Universe - Megamind

Megamind
     I.     Introduction:
                   A:  Introduce movie
                   B:  Film follows basic laws of physics.
                   C:  Hypothesis      
                   D:  Thesis: Making super hero physics work in a real world.
   
     II.  The Basics and where they get broken: Action and Reaction.
                   A:  Objects Bounce...off asteroids and pick up speed
                   B:   Things Crash into Earth after being propelled through space and into the Earths gravitational field...But leave no impact crater and slow to a perfect stop, under the Christmas tree.
                   C:  Flying people and walking on water?   
                   D: Where its real versus comedic value

     III.  Explosions, Speed Changes, and Impacts
                   A:  Sometimes objects travel unrealistic distances, and impact like they have less speed.
                   B:  Falling objects have no energy and stop when they hit the ground with no energy release.
                   C:  Throwing people over buildings and catching them without equalizing the energy
                   D:  GIANT ROBOTS!!!!!!

     IV.  Various Points of Interest Based On General Laws Of Physics
                   A: Centers of gravity
                   B: Super strength hitting walls versus hitting machines.
                   C: Breaking the sound barrier.
                   D: Other observations.

     V.  Conclusion
                   A:  Re-introduce thesis and Hypothesis
                   B:  Go over main points
                   C:  Last thoughts on Film
                  
Note:  This may change in the final paper, this is a film that I enjoy very much and every time I watch it I always discover something new.
