Outline for the Second Term Paper

Science Fact or Cinematic Fiction?
0. Chose 3 animated films that disobey newton's 3rd law - action/reaction
   -Up, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Despicable Me (or Tangled instead if you want me to not include anything from the film I chose for my last paper)

1. Up - pursuit scene
     - while being chased, pulling house & picking up speed.
     -force on the house changed but then remains unchanged further in chase when character hangs from it.

2. Mr. Peabody and Sherman
    - Booby-trap scene in tomb
    -flying through the air on a canoe and Mr. Peabody swings around one of them mid-air, but there is virtually no reaction from the boat - the trajectory is unchanged.

3.  Despicable Me
     - Gru punches a large shark flying toward him with no reaction from his body
     - similar to Shaolin Soccer effect

4. Tangled
     -there are many scenes where Rapunzel's scalp of steel comes in handy
     -specifically the dam scene when Flinn swings from it
     - her hair would have been short and brown long before this

5. Conclusion
    -restate principle and thesis
