The mars cartoon showed many different theories, myths, rumors and stories about mars and what each martians would be like. Bradbury book is more thought out and make the martians seem almost human while the cartoons is more random and makes the martians the weirdest way possible

In the Disney mars cartoon, it's a lot less realistic. The martians don't look like people at all, they're more like creatures than anything. They also have very different interests. For example, in the cartoon they focus on music and the planet has very unrealistic visual aspects. In the book, the martians are more human-like and their planet is much like Earth. Overall, it's more realistic.

Immediately I notice the size difference between sizes. In the book they are small and in the cartoon they are 10 feet tall. They say that the plants would grow taller and thinner because of the lack of gravity on mars. A couple of the authors said that they would walk on their hind legs and be smarter than humans. Finally, the last comparison is that in the book we find our way to mars but they have mars coming to us. As well as several conspiracy theories about seeing UFO's flying around and the government trying to hide it. Things seem a lot more hi-tech in the cartoon but a lot more modern in the book.

In the Disney version of mars, it seems extremely less realistic when compared to Bradbury's version. All of the examples of martians, are very inhuman-like, and more animal and monster like. A similarity though, is that in Bradbury's and the Disney version, the martians try and kill the humans. I don't think that much thought/intelligence was used to make the Disney version, while I feel like Bradbury's version is more likely to be correct, and if martians were real, that is what they would look like.

Bradbury believes that the martians look a lot like humans and can talk like humans. The disney movie shows that they are all different species. The Disney movie portrays it as more a movie, but Bradbury shows it as a story of coming of age for Earth trying to travel to Mars. They are similar in that in both stories, the Martians are trying to kill the Earthlings. The woman in the story back from Mars in a few seconds, but in the book, it took a month to travel.

I think that Disney's version of Mars is quite different as compared to Bradbury's version. The martians are more like aliens and they're taller than they were described as in Bradbury's story, where martians are almost like humans. Bradbury's version is similar to Disney's version when they think about the actually terrain and planet; for instance, growing plants on Mars and having some Earth characteristics. Disney's version is also very cartoony and more based off what we think of aliens as, or what we thought of them as in the past. It could be considered more realistic though, as compared to Bradbury's version, where it seemed to be written from his perspective of what he thought Mars would be like. There's also a lot of technology and creatures on Disney's version of Mars. Bradbury's version really seems to focus on humanity and their progress, rather than a more childish version from Disney. Nobody truly know what Mars was like at the time though, and I think we would just have to guess what is there.

I think that the cartoon is more irony based and the story is more sci phi.

This cartoon seems a lot different than the novel. In the novel the martians are a lot more human like and more violent. The cartoon is a lot more fun a creative while the book is more realistic and violent. They both were made at a time that people thought there could be life on mars but we now know there probably isn't. These books where other people's opinions and imagination about what martians are.

Disney’s version is that Mars is completely different from us on earth, that they look completely different from us in an almost unethical way. It is also implied that the martians would try to kill humans. Bradbury’s version is that instead of ambushing the humans, they would shift to something they could trust, then they would kill them, cunningly. Or that was the case in the 2000 Mars expedition. Although, both of the concepts do have the same motive; To kill the humans. This is probably derived out of both the Disney cartoon creator and Ray Bradbury’s hidden fear of life in space. THe concept to them might be fascinating, but scary at the same time which makes them depict martians as human killers.

The martians in both stories try to kill the earthlings, Dr. K and the robot. In the book and the short film the humans are not acknowledged they want to be because they think its a big thing to travel to another plant and see life.

in the book they didn't really like the humans and in the video they didn't like the humans.

Disney's Mars shows the cruel and very descriptive oddly shaped martians. He also showed the monstrous creatures of Mars that get human beings. While Bradbury puts Mars' martians as having similarities to life on Mars. The ones in Bradbury's stories are more human like and don't really acknowledge Earth until the martians have dreams of people coming to Mars.

The Disney Mars excerpt seems more opinionated and fictional, while The Martian Chronicles seems more possible, and factual. They both are being run out of Mars, and they are both being in danger on getting killed. The Martian Chronicles seems more reasonable, and more like it could happen, if there were martians on Mars. In both versions, both of there martian representations make sense. The Martian chronicles are better at showing, telling what the martians would actually look like.

Bradbury's version of Martians is very different than Disney's version. In The Martian Chronicles, the Martians are very human-like. They have houses, cities, similar culture, and lots of things we have on Earth. They look a bit similar to humans too. The Disney versions of Martians are very different. There are many different types. Some have long noses, some are really tall, some are fat, and so on. There are various types of Disney Martians, but none of the look anything like humans. They act similar to the Bradbury’s Martians in one aspect. They want to kill the humans. In Bradbury’s story, the Martians killed the astronauts. In Disney’s version, they tried to kill the Earth woman.

After reading some of the Martian Chronicles and watching the Disney cartoon, I think Bradbury and Disney have very different views of Mars. In the book, Bradbury describes the Martians as very human like, and have the same towns and characteristics that humans do. However, in the Disney cartoon, there are very many different kinds of martians, that look like monsters, not like humans at all. A similarity between the two is that the martians in both were trying to kill the humans. In the book, the astronauts, and in the cartoon, the woman from Earth.

The Disney Mars cartoon excerpt showed the different theories about Martians on Mars, compared to the story The Martian Chronicles. The cartoon seemed more fictional compared to the book. In cartoon, the Martians looked and acted more monster-like, but Bradbury explains the Martians are almost human-like. In the cartoon, the Martian takes the human captive, but the story portrays that the Martians want to remain isolated from the humans. However, the cartoon and the book share a similarity. In both versions, the Martians act violently towards the humans. For example, the Martians take the girl captive in the cartoon, and in the book, the Martians kill the humans.

I think that Bradbury's version seems very more realistic than this video. In the video a martian can turn into many different forms of bugs and uses lasers to kill humans but in the book the martians just shoot them. Also, I think the video one was very humorous while Bradbury's version is more serious.

Based on what I viewed in the Disney Mars cartoon excerpt, I think that Bradbury’s version of Mars seems to be much more realistic, for the Martians are very similar to humans, whereas, in the Disney Mars cartoon, the characters are incredibly different, with very un-humanlike features. The Martians from The Martian Chronicles, also are more like what aliens would seem to be like if they were to be found in space, for they are more pragmatic than the Martians in the Disney Mars cartoon excerpt. Although nobody knows what life would look or be like outside of Earth, I think that the Martians from Bradbury's text are more likely to be in the universe than Disney's version of Martians.

I know that the video is a lot different than the story. In the video the mounters look a lot different they look a lot like animals. In the story they look like normal people but with masks on. In the story they go to mars and all of them have a goal to do something and they all die. But in the movie they do there own thing and the monsters come after them to try and kill the humans but they fail. All of the aliens look different in the video but in the book they all look similar to each other. In the video they base all of the aliens off of real animals. Like a dog,cat,things like that.

i think that the two theories are very different. In Disney's, it was very animated, and seemed very friendly, almost like someone would want there to be other creatures in space. but in the novel, they are de described as hut like humans, and that they have many problems. In Disney's, there are creatures if many kinds, and they all seems very i=unrealistic. but if you look at the novel, they are described very stereotypical.
