Abstract/Description
We report on the identification, creation and use of narrative patterns to create an interactive cartoon. We have undertaken an analysis of an American 1950-60’s interactive television cartoon - Winky Dink and You, which gave the illusion of interaction. Winky Dink offered an engaging and enjoyable experience of a type not currently available on interactive television. We identified a number of recurrent sequences in the cartoon that we describe as narrative patterns. These patterns have also been used to create a genuine interactive cartoon using a modern multimedia development tool. We believe that this work could contribute towards the design and development interactive media (i-media) suitable for interactive television (iTV)
